Mr Mohammed Adjei Sowah, the Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive, has lauded the Urban Health Initiative’s commitment to achieve its goal of creating awareness and engaging stakeholders to improve air quality in the city. He said the communities’ involvement in the programme had given hope of achieving positive results to improve air quality in Accra and reducing deaths and diseases associated with air pollution. Mr Sowah said this at the opening of a two-day Urban Health Initiative Science-Policy dialogue series on the theme: “Saving lives by linking health, environment and sustainable development” to assess the progress of the initiative, which had been piloted in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area since 2018.
