Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Humphrey Brandt, the Deputy Bono Regional Environmental and Sanitation Officer has advised the public against buying food in filthy environments. He said food sold at filthy and unhygienic joints could be contaminated and expose consumers to infectious diseases.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani, Mr Brandt said the Regional Environmental Health Unit in collaboration with the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) had intensified enforcement in ensuring food vendors, including restaurants and chop bars operated in a hygienic environment.<\/p>\n

He indicated that joints where there are food vendors who refused to undertake the required periodic health screening to check their blood status against diarrhea, hepatitis \u2018A\u2019 and typhoid would be closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not allow any vendor who fails to do the periodic and compulsory health screening to operate in the region,\u201d Mr Brandt warned.<\/p>\n

On waste disposal, he expressed concern about rapid urbanization and population growth which were contributing to increase in refuse generation and called on the Municipal and District Assemblies to help in maintaining proper waste management in the region.<\/p>\n

Mr Brandt enumerated several challenges including lack of vehicles, tools, and equipment to desilt choked drains as well as inadequate personnel, and called on the government to resource the unit in its efforts towards promoting a healthy environment.<\/p>\n
