Climate change is having major health impacts around the world -
which are only expected to increase as our planet gets warmer.
These impacts range from heat stroke to the spread of tropical
diseases, from hospitals losing power during extreme weather to
the effect on our mental health. In this week's show, Graihagh
Jackson talks to two doctors from Malaysia and Egypt about the
challenges the medical sector faces, as well as possible
solutions and how healthcare must also address its own emissions
problem.
