Smart Investments key to improving miners’ health

A meeting between representatives from the private sector, government, civil society and associations of miners and ex-miners took place in South Africa on Wednesday to identify significant interventions for further investments in occupational and public care.    Representatives believe that miners’ health in Southern Africa can be improved through smart investments in initiatives aimed at tackling occupational diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and silicosis.
