KARACHI:
Environmental challenges pose a significant threat to both the healthcare sector and people’s health. The primary symbol of this problem is evident in plastic pollution, air pollution, deforestation, food wastage and more, all perpetuated in our daily activities.
Environmental issues stem from harmful human activities impacting our surroundings. Given our country’s high temperatures, it is unfortunate that authorities have failed to address this alarming matter. The adverse environmental conditions place an additional burden on the already strained healthcare sector. A holistic approach must be implemented to mitigate the long-term consequences.
