Other activities by CEH

1. National Seminar on Developing an agenda for Urban Environmental Health on June 8, 2018

Urban Environmental Health  is a subset of urban health concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment that may affect human health in the cities, preventing diseases and promoting well being of the population. Challenges of inequality in urban space persist, and health of the urban poor has not been a priority to the local governments but a response to emergencies. Many actors also play a role in urban environmental health. However, not much work has been done on urban environmental health. Urban environmental health is not just a matter of policy gaps. It is a subject whose varied dimensions need to be elaborated, the link between environmental factors and health clarified and results incorporated in policy, planning, design of cities and health service. In this context, CEH- TISS conducted a one day seminar titled- Developing an agenda for Urban Environmental Health on 8th July 2018. Experts from various fields presented their papers on different Environmental Health issues and had intense discussion of the current situation and challenges from distinct perspectives and domains.
