The Sene District Assembly, an innovative capacity building component of the Premier Pre-University College performs public health care evaluations in collaboration with the public health division of the Ghana health services and the Health and social care foundation.

From brief presentation, multiple questions, some brief exercises and group discussions, participants will be encouraged to reflect on; the impact of public health care evaluations on the challenges of quality health care. The paper demonstrate how the evaluation of existing public health data can be used to create meaningful indicator measures to further understanding of primary healthcare-related problems and to help prioritize them. We have further discussed principal criteria for and methods of implementing systems that will help deal with risk factors within the community. After considering all aspects of the public health care impact assessments for different alternatives, this paper evaluates the current status of public health care hazards within the farming and fishing area of Sene and outlines the principles, guidelines and alternatives for environmental health hazard strategies interventions.

 Lessons learned, and recommendations for successful collaboration between academic and public health departments are crucial. From the academic perspective, public health hazard evaluations are beneficial because they provide faculty and students with the opportunity to engage in public health practice and encounter new issues that advance the science of public health through research. From the perspective of a public health department, health hazard evaluations are beneficial because they address priority public health concerns and build the capacity of department personnel to conduct public health hazard evaluations with internal resources. A collaborative public health hazard evaluation and assessment programs increases public health capacity by developing new approaches to public health problems and by sharing the limited resources
