WHO estimates that more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. This includes the climate crisis which is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. The climate crisis is also a health crisis.

Our political, social and commercial decisions are driving the climate and health crisis. Over 90% of people breathe unhealthy air resulting from burning of fossil fuels. A heating world is seeing mosquitos spread diseases farther and faster than ever before.

Let's reimagine the world by doing what we can to spread awareness and to reverse the damage and make our planet a better place.

Weight loss treatments FAQ - 7
How do weight loss procedures work?
Weight loss procedures work by making your stomach smaller. Some types of surgery also change the path food takes through your gut so that fewer calories and nutrients get absorbed. Another procedure changes the nerve signals between the brain and the stomach so you don't feel hungry.
Weight loss surgery is appropriate only for people who:
- Have a BMI greater than 40; or
- Have a BMI of 35 to 39.9 and also have medical problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure
- Have a BMI of 30 or greater and have diabetes that cannot be controlled in other ways

Weight loss treatments FAQ - 8
How do I decide if weight loss treatment is right for me?
If your doctor suggests weight loss treatment, ask these questions:
- About how much weight can I expect to lose and how long will that take? – This depends on the treatment. There are several different types of stomach surgeries to help with weight loss. The amount of weight loss and how long it takes to lose weight is different for each one.
- What are the risks of treatment for someone like me? – Medicines can have side effects. Surgery can lead to infections, bleeding and the need for other operations. To reduce the risk of these problems, make sure your surgeon is very experienced and that you are treated at a certified "Center of Excellence."
- What changes will I need to make to my diet and lifestyle? – Weight loss treatments are not "short-cuts" that get you out of making lifestyle changes. People getting treated must also change how they eat and how active they are. No weight loss treatment works on its own. Sometimes people can get surgery only after they prove they can make lifestyle changes – by losing some weight on their own.
- Will I be able to process food normally? – Some types of stomach surgeries leave people unable to get all the nutrients they need from food. People who have this problem must take vitamin and mineral supplements for the rest of their lives.

Groin Hernia FAQs
How are hernias treated?
All hernias may not need treatment right away but many do need to be repaired with surgery. Femoral hernias usually need repair.
Surgeons can repair groin hernias in two ways
The best surgery for you will depend on
- The type and size of your hernia
- Whether this is your first surgery for the hernia
- If you have any other health condition
- Your preferences
- Your surgeon's experience.

The 2 types of surgery are:
● Open surgery – During an open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision near the hernia. Then he or she gently pushes the bulging tissue back into place. Next, the surgeon sews the weak tissue layer back together, so that nothing can bulge through. In most cases, surgeons will also patch the area with a piece of mesh. Mesh takes the strain off the tissue wall. This prevents hernia recurrence.

● Laparoscopic surgery/ key hole surgery – During laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes several small incisions. Then he or she inserts long thin tools into the area near the hernia. One of the tools has a camera (called a "laparoscope") on the end, through which entire procedure can be visualised on a TV screen. Then repairs the hernia with mesh.

If the intestines get trapped, the doctor will first try to "reduce" the hernia, which means gently pushing it back into the belly. If this works, a surgeon will do surgery to fix the hernia within a few days. If the doctor is not able to reduce the hernia, emergency surgery might be needed.
If your hernia has reduced the blood supply to a loop of intestine, your doctor might need to remove that piece of intestine and sew the 2 ends back

Groin Hernia FAQs
How are hernias diagnosed?
In most cases, doctors can diagnose a hernia just by doing an examination.
During the exam, the doctor will ask you to cough while pressing on the bulge. This can be uncomfortable, but it is necessary to find the source of the problem.
Only if there is a suspicion of a complication your doctor may order for specialised imaging
