The Dean of the School of Medical Sciences (SMS), Prof. Francis Ofei, has launched the 2018 Brain Awareness week celebrations at the University.
Lunching the week-long celebrations, Prof. Ofei called for the introduction of screening new-born babies for Thyroid deficiencies as done elsewhere to prevent brain complications in children.
To this end, he said: “It is done in the Western world, we have not found remedies to these and need to embrace this by looking out for the causes in autism for example”.
