Vision
Ensure that environmental health practice is at the peak of public health in Liberia to address health risks and promote a healthy standard.Mission
Improve health living standards through practice and training, adding significance to environmental health services.Objective
We aim to assist the community in identifying community-level healthcare and environmental health needs and problems.Environmental health professionals are responsible to their supervisors, primarily educating the public on relevant aspects of environmental sanitation. This responsibility is in accordance with the policies and regulations laid down by the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health, Ministry of Health, and backed by the public health laws of the Republic of Liberia. The environmental health professional utilizes four strategies: enforcement of standards, education, persuasion and motivation, and legal action. Primarily, the Environmental Health Board works alongside the Environmental Health Association to ensure that the mandate of the board is implemented accordingly.
The board also collaborates with the Ministry of Health, NGOs, and INGOs in implementing environmental health activities to ensure that licensed environmental health professionals are incorporated into the system. The Environmental Health Board also collaborates with other government agencies involved in environmental health activities.
As a forward-looking organization, we recognize that Environmental Health practice plays a pivotal role in safeguarding human well-being and the natural world. Our team of dedicated professionals is driven by the firm belief that a healthier environment leads to healthier communities, and we are steadfast in pursuing this noble objective.
To achieve our goals, we place a strong emphasis on both practice and education. Through innovative environmental health initiatives and comprehensive training programs, we equip our community with the knowledge and skills to address emerging challenges effectively.
At the Liberia Environmental Health Board, we believe that every individual's well-being is intertwined with the health of the environment we inhabit. As such, we advocate for sustainable practices that strike a harmonious balance between development and conservation. Promoting eco-friendly policies and regulating technicians' responsible behavior pave the way for a brighter future full of promise and vitality.
Together, we can elevate Environmental Health practices, bolster public health in Liberia, and build a thriving nation that cherishes the health and prosperity of its people. Thank you for visiting us, and we look forward to collaborating with you in creating a healthier, happier Liberia for generations to come.
