Abstract
Dear Madam, obstructive sleep apnoea, a syndrome characterized by repetitive and periodic occlusion of the upper airway during sleep, affects around 2% of women and 4% of men globally but only a small number of cases in this group of adults have been diagnosed, and this is due to the lack of awareness of sleep apnoea amongst the physicians and the public at large.
