Enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality in Ghanaian Public Health Facilities: Challenges and the Role of Automation Technologies
No full textTraditional methods of managing IEQ in public health facilities in Ghana tend to be reactive rather than proactive, often relying on manual interventions that may not adequately address the complex interplay of factors affecting the indoor environment. This study aimed to investigate the indoor environmental quality in public health facilities through automation technologies, emphasizing Esikado District Hospital and Shama Health Centre.
This study employed a mixed-methods research design incorporating qualitative and quantitative approaches. Analyses including descriptive statistics and documentation analyses were conducted to assess the existing legal framework.
The study revealed that there were no existing legal frameworks or regulations to govern IEQ standards in Ghana hence hospitals had to rely on international guidelines to maintain IEQ at the facilities assessed. Both hospitals had their CO2 (400 ppm & 270 ppm) and Air particulate (8.2µg/m³ for PM2.5 & 4.2 µg/m³ for PM2.5) within the acceptable limits according to international guidelines.
The study promotes well-structured policies that give environmental elements in hospital settings priority by highlighting the direct link between higher IEQ and improved health outcomes for both patients and staff.
The study also pointing out that there aren\u27t many local laws controlling IEQ, the study promotes the creation of thorough legal frameworks that can guarantee constant compliance with IEQ requirements in public health facilities, eventually creating a more secure and comfortable medical setting.
The study concludes that regulations and legal frameworks must be formulated in the country to enforce healthcare facilities better to comply with acceptable IEQ limits in their facilities. Implementing IEQ-controlling automation technologies will go a long way in improving overall facility management and indirectly influencing patient recovery

The Public Safety and Security Policy Model in African Countries
No full textMost African countries lack comprehensive formal public safety and security policies that articulate a national understanding of guiding principles, values, goals, strategic environment, threats, risks, and challenges. This paper proposes a Public Safety and Security Policy (PSSP) model aimed at assisting African nations in developing robust national policies and implementation plans. The model draws upon a conceptual framework informed by definitions, assumptions, conditions, and relationships among key concepts, addressing critical areas of PSSP development. Informed by extensive literature review and expert consultations, the model incorporates four foundational bases: (1) theoretical underpinnings of public safety and security (PSS) science, (2) regional and global best practices, (3) constitutional and legal frameworks, and (4) existing domestic safety and security systems and practices. This integrated approach offers actionable policy recommendations. The proposed PSSP model facilitates the identification and articulation of clear visions and missions for public safety and security. It also establishes a two-stage institutional reform process, delineating political responsibilities for policy formulation from managerial and operational duties for implementation, thereby enhancing governance and accountability. By addressing real-world challenges faced by African nations, the PSSP model has the potential to contribute significantly to socio-economic development, governance improvement, and the promotion of peace and stability. Its practical impact is evident in how it can help nations navigate complex safety and security landscapes, ensuring alignment with good governance principles such as the rule of law and sustainable development goals
