Pure Earth Ghana, a non-governmental organization in collaboration with USAID and UNICEF focused on combating environmental pollution have organized a national dialogue on lead pollution and poisoning in Accra.
ACCRA, Ghana (AP) â The U.S. State Department warned Monday that it would restrict U.S. visas for people who undermine Ghanaâs democracy, ahead of the West African countryâs general election in December.
In Ghana, about 1.7 million children are estimated to have blood lead levels above five micrograms per deciliter â which is above the allowable limits.
Directors of Health Services in the Ashanti Region have therefore been advised to devise strategies to take advantage of social events to educate the public on the health implications of lead poisoning.
