ISLAMABAD: People with low and middle -income countries (LMIC) are likely to die between 2026 and 2050 due to climate -related diseases, experts have warned in an international article that causes climate change, rapid civilization, and rural health.
Despite the minimal contribution to global carbon emissions, the rural population in the LMIC is suffering from this growing crisis.
The study, published in the Journal of Surgical Features and Rural Practices, offers a comprehensive analysis of how extremely extreme weather events, changing diseases samples, and inadequate health infrastructure, poverty, weak governance, and decades of systemic neglect of decades.
“Climate change is not just an environmental problem-this is a healthy emergency that is affecting the rural poor the most difficult,” the paper has warned that climate-affected stress is nutritional insecurity, mental health problems, and rural LMICs, such as malaria, dengue and malaria. According to the World Health Organization, the LMIC has an annual tool for an additional 250,000 additional deaths related to climate. The cause of these deaths has been attributed to infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies and changing extreme weather samples, which influences women, children and the elderly in rural areas.
Sri Lanka’s central author, Dr. Sankha Randanicumara, and 10 other countries from Pakistan, India, South Africa, Ukraine, and 10 other countries, and 10 other countries argue that healthcare professionals are already ongoing healthcare professionals in urban areas.
This migration depends on the increasing risk of health for traditional medicines and rural communities, especially where agriculture is the main source of livelihood and is besieged by the tremor of itself. There is another complex risk in this study. It has noted that urban migration from rural relocation is creating crowded informal settlements in cities that lack clean water, cleaning and health care. The authors say that the urban Katchi population is creating a breeding for infectious diseases and social emissions, which further pressures both rural and urban health systems.
To follow an extraordinary inter -formal call, the authors have proposed a target policy reform to integrate climate adaptation with health planning. These include strengthening the climate flexible health infrastructure, scaling telemedicine and mobile health platforms, adopting climate -agricultural methods, and empowering social health workers. In particular, this study highlights Pakistan’s success with mobile health platforms, which provided maternity and children’s health services during the Coid 19 crisis. Similar models in India, Tanzania and Australia have been presented as evidence that community-based healthcare models-when properly reserves, can improve access and flexibility in the unmanned rural areas.
Prof. Dr. Ajas Ahmed Khan, Prof. Ajas Ahmed Khan of the Health Services Academy, who jointly authored the article, emphasized the urgent need to align health policies with climate flexibility strategies. “We need to invest in the rural health system before the space is irreparable,” he said. Climate change is a blow to the current inequality. “
The important thing is that this thesis also highlights the unique role of family doctors, and calls them “change agents” who can engage with individuals, communities and policy makers to tackle the climate health crisis. From the “Greening” general practice clinic to consultation with the climate education, family physicians are requested to play an important role in this response. The authors express regret over a serious difference in climate and precision research in rural settings. They recommend future studies on the effects of gender health, the effects of climate trauma, and the effectiveness of the initial warning system according to the rural environment. He also called for increasing funds, legal concerns and integrated governance in sectors such as health, environment, agriculture, and urban planning.
With the clock ticking and rapid risk of the weakening population, this report ends with a serious reminder: Unless the bold, integrated and comprehensive steps are taken immediately, the climate change will deepen the lines of inequality, which will deepen the lines.
