Dr Dingani Moyo Wits University lecturer gives his views on OHS among artisanal and small scale miners. “Small scale miners are the most vulnerable to TB, HIV & Silica dust exposure. They are a severely compromised population”. #NEPADCoP2019

Dr Dingani Moyo: Children, pregnant women and the elderly have also become vulnerable to exposure - We need to start looking at occupational diseases from a different perspective. #NEPADCoP2019

Dr Dingani Moyo: The way forward: 1) we need a national OHS framework 2) provide on-site services, 3) adopt the BOHS Concept 4) capacitate primary health services. #NEPADCoP2019

"The health effects of #ClimateChange go beyond air pollution. Climate change fans the flames of infectious disease such as malaria, dengue, zika and cholera. It fuels the spread of noncommunicable disease by polluting the air, food and water that sustain life"-Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
