Climate change continues to be a central topic in current debate, due to its impact not only on the environment but also on human health. The frequent and unpredictable phenomenon of extreme weather is raising significant concerns among health experts.
Short and medium-long term impacts
According to Giovanni Leoni, vice president of the National Federation of the Orders of Surgeons and Dentists (Fnomceo), the consequences of these extreme climate events are multiple and vary over time. In the short term, there are direct impacts such as respiratory infections and heat strokes, while in the medium-long term other health complications could arise, such as cardiovascular and mental illnesses linked to persistent environmental stress.
Challenges for the healthcare sector
Leoni emphasizes the need for greater preparedness in the healthcare sector to address these new challenges.
