Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng is the Department Head of Critical Care at The Ottawa Hospital. He dedicates his time to care for the sickest of the sick patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). As a researcher, he is interested in using ICU resources more efficiently and improving access to palliative care in the ICU. To help do this, he founded the Resource Optimization Network, a multidisciplinary research group working to reduce health spending in this area without compromising care.
In September 2019, Dr. Kyeremanteng launched his ever-growing podcast “Solving Healthcare with Kwadwo Kyeremanteng”. Episodes feature interviews and discussions on the topic of improving healthcare delivery in Canada. Underpinned by the values of cost-effectiveness, dignity, and justice, these podcasts will challenge the status quo, leaving no stone unturned as we explore gaps, assumptions, and different perspectives in the pursuit of finding solutions to problems in Canada’s healthcare system.
During the COVID 19 pandemic, Dr. Kyeremanteng created ‘Solving Wellness’ a virtual health & wellness platform for healthcare professionals. ‘Solving Wellness’ has been helping to address healthcare burnout and providing health, fitness, and self-care for its members.
In 2023, Dr. Kyeremanteng became a first-time author with his book “Unapologetic Leadership.” He has recently been asked to join the Board of Directors of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Dr. Kyeremanteng is passionate about the impact that the Foundation has on our community. He also wants to play a key role in support of our new hospital campus that will be state-of-the-art and utilized by generations to come.
