India | Health Sector Leaders Launch the Health and Environment Leadership Platform

In February 2017, institutions representing more than 5,000 hospitals and health centers that form the Health and Environment Leadership Platform (HELP) released a joint statement calling for concerted action to reduce air pollution in India. The statement called on "all relevant stakeholders to take immediate and sustainable action to improve India’s air quality and ameliorate its impacts on health". The statement also noted that "if India is to realize the value of its demographic dividend, it will need to tackle the growing menace of air pollution, a task in which the health sector stands ready to assist". The Health and Environment Leadership Platform was also formally launched today by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) in partnership with Health Care Without Harm (HCWH). The platform aims to bring together health sector leaders to voice their concern and show leadership on the impact of environmental risk factors for ill health.
