Uniting for Health and Climate Action

WHO urges health professionals, groups and individuals to unite in a call for world leaders to meet the commitments they have already made, and to raise their ambition for a healthier, fairer and greener future. Add your voice, participate here.

  1. Deliver on the Paris Agreement and accelerate the phase out of fossil fuels to safeguard a liveable future for humanity and save a million lives a year from air pollution;
  2. Build climate-resilient, low-carbon health systems as “no regrets” protection for current and future lives; and
  3. Deliver on promises of US$ 100 billion a year in climate finance, and spend this on saving lives and improving the health of the most vulnerable.

Healthcare and AI - navigating choppy waters

With the increasing availability of healthcare data and the rapid progress in analytic techniques – whether machine learning, logic-based, or statistical – artificial intelligence tools could transform the health sector. AI s the potential to help treat cancer, detect tuberculosis & read eye scans, but it also comes with serious challenges around ethics & regulation, including

  • Lack of transparency in data collection
  • Cybersecurity threats
  • Amplifying biases or misinformation

Let's talk about menopause

Menopause is a natural stage of a woman's life when monthly menstruation, also known as periods, ends, marking the end of the reproductive years.

Most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years as a natural part of biological ageing, due to the loss of ovarian follicular function and a decline in estrogen levels.

@Vijay K. Luthra I do agree that Healthcare should be fully human centric in a way that empowers patients and increase outcomes. I do also strongly believe that AI and deep tech can help overcome many of the legal and compliance intrincacies while protecting privacy, cultural differences and bringing much needed studies as Paloma pointed out. Many a start-up are taking up that mission to pave the way for a from the ground-up societal change. Having here that conversation is the way to actual change. As an example, PhenomX Health a #menopause #femtech start-up has brought together a free symptoms tracker for Personalized Recommendations & Real World Research, while obviously having data & compliance at its core. Thanks World Health Organization for the Menopause focus !

AI Platform is a very gray area for most of us but can be explore to strengthen the Health system via capacity building and how it can be use to move further in the Health care delivery. Technology is the way to go hence the need to equip our staff and make the technology available for use to extend the life span of human from 70 years as indicated in the Bible to at least 120 plus with adequate strength. Change does not come easily like that but with persistence and availability we will get there by all means. Ai is the way to go so lets all come on board.
