Bridging Global Environmental Health Concerns and Local Health Priorities  Health Care Without Harm's campaign in Asia began by calling the attention of the people in the health care industry on the harmful environmental effects and health impact of burning medical waste. As the emerging economies in Asia grow stronger, health care  is one of the sectors projected to expand significantly in the coming years and Health Care Without Harm must- and intends- to be a a partner of hospitals in shaping the future of the health care industry in Asia. As the health care industry develops in this part of the world, policies need to be gradually put in place and I see the expertise and experience of Health Care Without Harm in facilitating the cross pollination of ideas among various hospitals in different countries and legal jurisdictions. The challenges for the health...

Éramos mayormente ajenos a este ámbito: activistas de la comunidad que habíamos estado trabajando por décadas en el movimiento ambientalista. Pero sabíamos que necesitábamos aliados poderosos para traducir esta ciencia emergente que vinculaba el ambiente con nuestra salud en acciones concretas que protegieran a nuestros hijos, a nuestras familias y a nuestras comunidades. Necesitábamos al sector de la salud.Por ese entonces, nuevos hallazgos científicos revelaron que la exposición a bajas dosis de sustancias químicas tóxicas durante los primeros mil...
