Let’s paused to see if we have answers to the environmental cost of these global wars, from SSA, Asia and Europe. I believe it will be enormous from air pollution, ecosystem biodiversity you name them.
What have been the health impacts from countries like Ukrain, Sudan #STOPWAR
Backyard burning contributes significantly to ambient air quality and a mixture of these pollutant gases and particles causes a myriad of health issues. #Awarenesscreation
@MKDankwah What you should also include in your analysis is that data will not go in block because an Akan is stepping down and that means they are voting for the remaining Akan. Most voters changed camp once their favorite candidate is no more in the race
@hughes_onair@JDMahama@NAkufoAddo Don’t mind them, they are never concerned with cost of living, how Ghanaians are struggling. They won’t talk about that they are thinking about this useless project. Does God said he want as place of worship in Ghana?
Over 3,950 households in Techiman Municipality of Ghana’s Bono East Region are now cooking with Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and breathing healthier air, thanks to the innovative GasPay Study led by the Kintampo Health Research Centre (KHRC), in collaboration with Columbia University and the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In Techiman, many families still rely on firewood and charcoal for cooking, contributing to serious health issues, especially for women and children who spend long hours in the kitchen. In fact, household air pollution remains a major public health concern in Ghana today.
Recognizing this, the GasPay study, which is the first of its kind in Ghana, was launched in February 2024. It aims to make LPG affordable and accessible to low-income families through a mobile application called GasPay, that allows users to save small amounts of money through mobile money, order gas, schedule deliveries, and share feedback with suppliers. The app is available on the Google Play Store and USSD code. For families facing difficulties saving enough for gas, the study provides top-up incentives, used purposely for LPG refills.

Educating schs about the health risks associated with plastics and air pollution can drive behavioral changes and support for policy initiatives. KHRC is leading the way against school pollution #STOPREFUSEBURNINGINSCHOOLSNOW
Schools may struggle to incorporate environmental education if air quality issues persist. This where KHRC has being pushing for the past 5 years, to end Sch air pollution
