Climate-smart radiography in Ghana: training needs of diagnostic radiographers mapped to the WHO operational framework and UNFCCC Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE)
Radiographers in Ghana recognize the importance of sustainable radiography but face knowledge, training, and resource limitations that restrict implementation. Developing targeted, cost-effective, and context-specific training that are aligned with the WHO Operational Framework and UNFCCC ACE pillars is essential to strengthen capacity for climate-smart radiography in Ghana and comparable lower-middle-income countries.
