For decades and through various evolutions man has always made efforts
to avoid diseases and find ways to cure existing ones in order to
improve and prolong life. Various diseases have led to the loss of human
life irrespective of age. Diseases especially those caused by our daily
intakes and activities such as food and hygiene continues to be a
threat to human health and life with much emphasis being placed on
curative care instead of preventive care through simple precautions of
hygiene in our daily activities. It is obvious and globally acclaimed
that unhygienic food and other forms of contamination of our daily
consumables have led to the death of millions of people throughout the
world, especially in Africa where lack of education, poverty, poor
public health policies, lack of qualified personnel, poor financing
health system among other reasons have left Africa and for that matter
Ghana at the mercy of every outbreak from unhygienic food. There should
therefore be a paradigm shift from looking for food diseases to cure, to
what the diseases are and how they are caused.http://www.modernghana.com/news/423769/1/food-hygiene-and-safety-the-most-neglected-in-ghan.html
