National Environment and Health Action Plan
The National Environment and Health Action Plan (NEHAP), developed by the then-National Commission for Environmental Affairs and the Department of Health within the Ministry of Health, aims to increase capacity in environmental health management. The NEHAP lists six priority areas of environmental concern:
• Air quality;
• Water supply, sanitation and hygiene;
• Solid and hazardous waste;
• Toxic chemicals and hazardous substances;
• Climate change, ozone depletion and ecosystem changes; and
• Contingency planning, preparedness and response in environmental health emergencies.
