Climate Change and Cerebrospinal Meningitis (CSM), feat. Dr. Yaw Boafo
Description
In this episode of "Conversations on Climate Change and Health," we dive into the intricate relationship between climate change and its impact on cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) in Ghana. I am joined by Dr. Yaw Boafo, a senior research fellow at the Center for Climate Change and Sustainability Studies, who sheds light on how rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and environmental shifts contribute to the spread of CSM. Through expert insights and community voices, we explore how climate variables influence disease outbreaks, the importance of early detection, adaptation strategies, and the role of public health policies in combating this critical issue. Join us as we connect the dots and discuss how nature-based solutions can help protect our health in a changing climate. Don't miss this long-overdue conversation!
