Status of the Respiratory Therapy Profession in Ghana: A Cross-Sectional Study
To our knowledge, this was the first needs assessment study that evaluated the field of the RT profession in Ghana. The findings indicate robust support for the necessity, development, and expansion of the RT field in the country. Future prospective studies are recommended to further evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the RT profession on patient care outcomes.
