Unsafe environment
conditions and food insecurity are the two major causes of community health
problems in the country. WHO, in collaboration with government agencies, is
putting health on top of the national sustainable development agenda with
focus on poverty reduction. Multidisciplinary interactions at both
institutional and programme fronts are being adapted
to enhance national capacity for action. Through health and environment
initiative, WHO is assisting the member country in identifying and assessing
health hazards and issues in priority such as:
 Water
Quality Issues: Improvement of drinking water supply programme
and strengthening water quality surveillance programme
& demonstration of 'Water Safety Plan'.
Food
Safety Measures: Improve the nutritional status of population & enhance
food safety
Chemical Safety and Occupational Health:
Protect human health from environmental and occupational health issues.
