WaterAid Ghana 30 Years of Excellence

By -
On my one on one interview with Mr Ibrahim Musah, Head of Policy and Partnership at WaterAid Ghana. He said " Water challenges in Ghana are in various forms including inequality in access by rural communities, poor and marginalised communities. Urban areas and small towns don't have access to potable water".
WaterAid Ghana has done a lot for the past 30 years, since 1985 to improve water, sanitation and hygiene delivery in Ghana. WaterAid Ghana has done direct water provision through Bole holes, pipe extension, and hand drive wells to a little over 1,100 people in some of districts in Ghana. Mr Ibrahim Musah continued; In Gusheigu district, Tamale district, Wa East, Afram, Akuapim North etc. people still live without potable water, which is not good enough. Some other challenges in access to potable water is, pollution of water bodies. Some unpatriotic people in our communities still pollute their water bodies, people involved in mining also pollute their water bodies to some extent. WaterAid has also worked within government of Ghana policies, supported government to develop new policies and review existing policies and still count their successes throughout their 30years of existence in Ghana. Looking forward to celebrating their 30years in November 2015, WaterAid Ghana wants to use their Healthy Start project to reach out to Ghanaians, and healthy start means providing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene facilities at health centres to make sure mothers and children are healthy, and newborns are healthy too.

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
