How do mining projects affect #HIV risks in sub-Saharan #Africa?

➡️Check out our video produced by the @Hia4Sd team published in @AIDS_Journal

Great resource for the HIA and EIA community @IAIAnetwork

[Swiss TPH @SwissTPH]

A recent study by @SwissTPH found that opening up industrial #Mines in sub-Saharan #Africa, doubles the likelihood of the local population to be #HIV positive.
The results were published in @AIDS_Journal.

��As nossas condições de higiene e saneamento são más porque a mineração está a poluir a nossa água; é por isso que as nossas crianças sofrem de diarreia.” Este é o entendimento que alguns residentes das zonas de extração mineira têm sobre o impacto dessas actividades na saúde.

[CISM Manhiça @Manhica_CISM]

Decorre hoje no distrito de Moatize, um workshop de divulgação dos resultados de pesquisa do estudo @Hia4Sd. O Workshop, tem como principal propósito, partilhar com as partes interessadas as realizações do projecto HIA4SD e as próximas actividades.

#WorldWaterDay2022: Access to clean and safe water is key to health and well-being. The @Hia4Sd project shows that governments can harness the potential of mining projects to promote health through rigorous health impact assessment (HIA).

What are the impacts of natural resource extraction projects (e.g., minerals or metals) on #Health in #Africa?

Researchers of @SwissTPH are studying this question in the @Hia4Sd project together with @ETH_en @UHASGhana @Manhica_CISM and others
