Planetary Health is a rapidly developing field that is gaining momentum and significance as the world grapples with the devastating effects of infectious diseases, climate change, biodiversity loss, complex food insecurities, and international competition for resources. These challenges are often attributable to the financial activity made by nation states and increasing disposable individual wealth. The outcomes have created a perfect storm of events that, if not managed properly, threatens the health of current and future generations. Given the front-line role pharmacists play within health system in the community and institutional levels, the profession is uniquely positioned to make a meaningful impact to planetary health. This article aims to explore contributions pharmacists can make to secure planetary health.
行星健康是一个快速发展的领域,随着世界应对传染病、气候变化、生物多样性丧失、复杂的粮食不安全以及国际资源竞争等破坏性影响,该领域的重要性和影响力与日俱增。这些挑战往往归因于国家的金融活动和不断增加的个人可支配财富。这些后果造成了一场完美风暴,如果管理不善,将威胁到当前和未来几代人的健康。鉴于药剂师在社区和机构层面的卫生系统中发挥的前沿作用,该专业在为行星健康做出有意义的贡献方面具有独特的地位。本文旨在探讨药剂师在确保行星健康方面可以做出的贡献。
