Dr Safa : After the fever

When the rains don’t come, or when they don’t stop, people get sick. Doctor Safa has seen it firsthand.In this episode, Dr. Safa connects the dots between climate change and health — from heatwaves and floods spreading new diseases, to droughts cutting off clean water in remote villages. We revisit the lessons of COVID: what worked with testing and preparedness, what didn’t with misinformation, and why trust matters more than any press release.Dr. Safa explains zoonotic spillovers like Ebola, why outbreaks go global in days, and how healthcare gaps leave forest and farming communities most vulnerable. We also talk about traditional knowledge, the cost of lockdowns on livelihoods, and why doctors, vets, and environmental experts must team up through a One Health approach.The conversation ends with hope: the one change we need before the next pandemic, and concrete ways city listeners can support communities on the frontlines.Tune in for science, stories, and solutions that put people at the center of public health.
