Climate Effects on Human Health and Health Policy
Author:
Abstract: This study analyzed policies related to healthcare that are affected by climate change in Korea. The Asia region is suffering from many health problems, such as vector-borne diseases, water-borne diseases, and rodent-borne diseases because it is exposed to more natural disasters than any other region in the world. Implementing a surveillance system nationally can alleviate these problems, supporting capacity-building for new kinds of diseases emerging in developing countries in an effort to attain sustainable development goals.
