food hygiene

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
