BACKGROUND OF THE DEPARTMENT
Historically, the Department of Environmental Health Sciences is first in
Nigeria and possibly in West Africa. Environmental Health, according to the World
Health Organization is a specialized discipline in Public Health that is responsible
for the ‘Prevention of Diseases and Safeguarding of the Health of populations by
ensuring and providing Safe and Quality environmental conditions’. This discipline
is thus very strategic in the realization of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDG’s) and Sustainable Development (SD) which are key United Nations Social,
Environment and Health issues. In order to provide the required enabling
environment for qualitative training of students and for staff development, research,
teaching and community service programmes are geared towards local and global
components. The origin and growth of Environmental Health Sciences at College of Health
Michika dates back to 1975. Environmental Health was one of the areas of emphasis
in the then Department of Preventive and Social Medicine (PSM),one of the 2
foundation Departments of the College. In 1975, the Head of Department was
appointed to pilot the affairs of the Department. The department started with 15
