In 2018 the United Nations General Assembly announced June 7 of every year as the World Food Safety Day in order to create awareness on food safety. This year’s theme is ‘Safer food, better health’. Safe food is one of the most critical guarantors for good health.
As the world marks this important day, we as a country should deeply reflect on food safety issues bedeviling us. The talk of provision of universal health care by the government may end up being a mirage if we do not adopt a preventative as opposed to curative approach to health care.
