Dr Zulfiqar Bhutta looks beyond the mainstream health system to improve the health, well-being and nutrition of women and children.
“It is time to treat the climate and nature crisis as a global health emergency,” says a call to action published in over 200 health journals in the run up to the 2023-24 COP meetings on climate change and biodiversity.
Dr Zulfiqar A.
