Environmental exposure - measured by the environmental justice index - plays a crucial role in CVD development and risk factors independent of social factors. #AHAJournals SumanthKhadke MD Ashish Kumar, MD Sarju Ganatra, MD, FACC ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

It's World Health Worker Week #WHWWeek 2024!!

An important moment to recall commitments to protect and invest in health and care workers & take stock of new evidence:

World Health Organization (WHO) OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives (2024) Bilateral agreements on health worker migration and mobility

🙏 also @ILO Working4Health

There’s clearly an urgent need for national & global heart health strategies to raise awareness of risk factors & treat preventable CVD.
