The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), in collaboration with the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), announced the launch of the monitoring and surveillance program to control food pollutants and pathogens during the initial stages of production and processing and throughout the food chain, as part of the multisectoral one health approach.

​

The program aims to monitor pathogens to prevent their transmission to humans through the intake of contaminated foods.

 

The Ministry of Public Health is working in collaboration with the relevant governmental partners to ensure that food products access markets in a manner that ensures their health and sustainability by building the capacity of local farms to manage health risks, as well as improving the investment environment to keep the local product competitive in the market.
