In February, a dedicated group of professionals embarked on a transformative journey to deepen their expertise in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Thanks to the support of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), this comprehensive training program ran through March, equipping participants with the critical knowledge and skills needed to enhance air quality in various indoor institutions—ultimately promoting healthier working spaces.
Over four days of immersive online training, professionals from diverse institutions—including CBH staff, the Barbuda Public Health Inspectorate, and stakeholders from Mount St. John, the Department of Analytical Services, and APUA—actively engaged in expert-led sessions.
Under the guidance of a seasoned Public Health Engineer, the program focused on Indoor Environmental Quality and Ventilation in healthcare facilities, commercial establishments, and residential buildings.
A key highlight of the program was the in-country visit by the Public Health Engineer, where participants benefited from interactive sessions, hands-on demonstrations, and engaging discussions.
This invaluable experience provided practical insights into conducting Indoor Air Quality inspections, ensuring participants gained a well-rounded and actionable understanding of air quality management.
The in-county visit commenced in Barbuda, where inspections were conducted at several government institutions, followed by a series of assessments across various government facilities in Antigua.
The hands-on approach allowed participants to bridge theory with practice, empowering them to implement effective IAQ improvement strategies within their respective workplaces.
The training officially came to an end on March 20th, concluding on a high note as participants expressed newfound confidence in their enhanced expertise. Their commitment to applying these skills underscores the lasting impact of this initiative.
The Ministry of Health extends its deepest appreciation to PAHO for facilitating this invaluable training.
By equipping professionals with essential IAQ expertise, this initiative has not only strengthened indoor environmental health but also heightened awareness of the crucial role air quality plays in public well-being.
As we move forward, the success of this program serves as a foundation for continued improvements in indoor air quality standards, ensuring healthier spaces for all.

With all the dust and mold issues around, this training is much needed!
If they are government employees been trained to tackle air quality in public building it is already compromised, been an employee of the state does not give you the latitude to cause your boss injury in that circumstances, and am talking like decision on work place closure or infrastructure upgrade of a government office, the employee taking his superior with such task will not be tenable or tolerated by the government, and especially when you have Gaston telling the post office workers to go worl in that office because the office where the prime minister works has air quality issues and he still goes to work. This is probably loyal party supporters on a trip in china , especially Petra Williams.
