Climate Change and Global Health: What Every Clinician Needs to Know
About This Webinar
Climate change is not a future public health challenge — it is a current clinical reality. Emergency departments are already seeing increased presentations of heat stroke and respiratory illness linked to extreme weather events. Vector-borne diseases are appearing in new geographies. Mental health consequences of climate disasters are straining psychiatric services globally.
This widely anticipated webinar brings Dr. Fatima Al-Hassan to Healthcore Bridge's global clinical audience to translate climate science into clinical practice. Rather than focusing on the environmental metrics, Dr. Al-Hassan will present the disease burden data: which conditions are increasing, which populations are most vulnerable, and what the evidence shows about how healthcare systems should adapt.
The session will cover climate-sensitive diseases including heat-related illness, vector-borne infections, respiratory conditions linked to air quality deterioration, and the mental health sequelae of climate displacement. Dr. Al-Hassan will also present the WHO's climate-health competency framework — the first structured guide for what clinicians need to know and what medical schools should teach.
This is the most-requested topic in Healthcore Bridge's 2026 webinar survey, with over 12,000 clinicians expressing interest ahead of registration opening. The session is free and open to all registered healthcare professionals.
