Break it Down

Good healthcare is not only the absence of illness but the complete social, mental, and physical well-being of humans. Governments work to improve healthcare with tools often referred to as policies. But citizens barely engage with these or other important conversations that impact their lives. The Break it Down Podcast is here to close that gap by simplifying and breaking down these concepts and policies so you can engage meaningfully. You should listen if you are someone curious about understanding how things work and contributing to conversations that impact our lives.You can reach us via podcasts@nigeriahealthwatch.com

Is climate change putting your health at risk? Let’s talk about it.

January 18, 2025 • Nigeria Health Watch

Happy New Year! To get the year started off right, we are bringing back In this episode of Break It Down Podcast, the discussion we had at our 2024 Future of Health Conference themed: From Evidence to Action: Building Resilience at the Climate- Health Nexus

The insightful episode featured Dr Chijioke Kaduru, Managing Director of Corona Management Systems (CMS) discussing the critical connections between the environment and public health and the rising health impacts of climate change. From scorching heatwaves and air quality challenges to waterborne diseases and mental health struggles, climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s affecting lives right now.

Dr Kaduru sheds light on what these changes mean for individuals and communities, highlighting the urgent need for action to protect our health and future.

This episode is a wake-up call as the discussion explores how we can adapt, mitigate, and prioritise health in the face of a rapidly changing climate.

Tune in, get inspired, and take action. Let’s build a healthier, more resilient world.
