Rapid response

Our climate is our planet

Everyone has a responsibility to mitigate the consequences of climatic changes. We neurologists are very worried because many neurological diseases are influenced directly or indirectly by climatic changes.

To mitigate climatic changes, everyone in the health care system should plant green plants in and outside our hospitals, houses, and other work places. We should avoid plastics in our day to day life. We should use environmental friendly fuels. We must also help the proper disposal of biomedical and other hospital waste.
