Climate change is worsening day by day due to so many known reasons. This acceleration leads to spreading of infectious disease worldwide for example cases of malaria, dengue and cholera are increasing as warmer temperatures expand mosquito habitats. Recent extreme heatwaves in India, Europe and the U.S lead to increase in heat-stroke cases and worsening pulmonary health current example is case of Delhi. Apart from this flooding events in Pakistan and Brazil triggered outbreak of waterborne diseases, proving that there is a link between health of the planet and health of humans. Increasing Heat stress is leading to cardiovascular and kidney disease burden globally, while wildfire smoke has caused a surge in asthma and COPD patients. WHO in recent reports recognizes climate change as the largest threat to global health in the 21st century. The only solution to this change behaviour of humans most important creature of this planet. We need to take care of the health of this planet as our own health because there is notebly a direct effect is there on us when climate change worsens. Mitigation strategies include environmental pharmacy, green prescribing, and carbon-neutral hospital models. Tell me what are your thoughts on this??

Yes, the planet’s health and human health are deeply connected. As global temperatures rise, we face more heat strokes, respiratory problems, vector-borne diseases, and food-water shortages. Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a growing public health threat that affects every community. ---

This post is highlighting the fact so well that how climate change is no longer just an “environment” issue but a daily clinical reality, from heat strokes and worsening lung diseases. The thing that strikes me most is how unprepared many health systems still are for these patterns…
