Abstract The data of 623 patients who reported for management of oral communication disorders at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana within a period of four years were retrospectively, analyzed and studied in respect of differences in the type of problem, age group, sex and geographical location. Oral communication disorders affected all age groups and had high incidence in young children, infants and males. Decoding-encoding difficulty was prevalent followed by encoding difficulty, faulty encoding and loss of ability to decode and or encode speech. Majority of the patients came from the Ashanti Region followed by stations around Kumasi, areas in Kumasi central and finally, other Regions of Ghana. The results are discussed. | ||
