Laut dem diesjährigen World Health Summit ist 2023 auch ein wegweisendes Jahr für globale Gesundheitsmaßnahmen. Große Themen sind "Klimawandel u. Gesundheit" sowie #Pandemie|prävention. Der #Klimawandel, die Zerstörung des Lebensraums von Wildtieren, #Abholzung der letzten tropischen Urwälder, #Massentierhaltung und #Wildtierhandel sind virologische #Risikofaktoren! Krankheiten, die wir zurzeit mit anderen Regionen der Welt verbinden werden bald auch in Europa ankommen. #WHS2023 #HealthForAll #pandemicagreement #Berlin
