KNUST has received a $5.1 million grant from Takeda to support its PharmAdapt initiative. The funding will help equip Ghanaian pharmacists with the skills to manage health risks linked to climate change. The project aims to strengthen healthcare systems by making them more resilient to environmental challenges.
The grant is part of a broader effort to address how climate change affects public health. PharmAdapt will provide training programs focused on adapting pharmaceutical practices to changing environmental conditions. The initiative will also support research into health impacts of climate-related events.
KNUST has a long history of engaging in health-related research and education. This new funding marks a significant step in its commitment to addressing climate impacts on healthcare. The university plans to roll out the training programs within the next year. The initiative is expected to improve healthcare outcomes in communities vulnerable to climate change.
