The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency,(EPA), Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology and development partners, with financial support from Pure Earth is commemorating Lead Awareness Week 2025 under the theme “No Safe Level: Act Now to End Lead Exposure.” The campaign seeks to raise national awareness on the harmful effects of lead exposure and to promote coordinated action toward eliminating lead in paints, consumer products, and the environment.

Lead exposure remains a serious public health concern in Ghana, posing irreversible risks to children, pregnant women, and workers. This year’s celebration underscores the Ministry’s commitment to advancing preventive health measures, strengthening regulation, and fostering multi-sectoral partnerships to achieve a lead-free and healthier Ghana.
