MILAN, 6/11/2022 - "Air pollution is the most important environmental threat to public health and participates in the exacerbation of climate change, which in turn has an impact on the health of the population", says Elena Uga, pediatrician of the Cultural Association of Pediatricians (ACP), referent of the PUMP Working Group (Paediatricians for a Possible World), explains the reasons for a peaceful protest that has prompted dozens of doctors, nurses and paediatricians to move in groups in many cities of Italy to sensitize the population and local and national administrations “so that a stricter policy is also implemented in Italian cities: adequate to the seriousness of the risk to which pollution exposes us all, but above all the children we are asked to care for. We want more decisive choices, just as it has been happening for years, for example, in France or the United Kingdom, particularly in Paris and London”. On the eve of the COP27 United Nations Climate Conference, the Cultural Association of Pediatricians (ACP) therefore wants to raise awareness in politics and among people, so that they can choose to act in the best possible way and as soon as possible, in collaboration with ISDE, Doctors for Environment. Today in Milan, the group of pediatricians will travel the route that ideally unites the two most famous pediatric hospitals of one of the most polluted cities in Europe, the Vittore Buzzi Hospital and the Mangiagalli Clinic. why they choose to act in the best possible way and as soon as possible, in collaboration with ISDE, Doctors for the Environment.
