Taking Care of Mother Earth / Prendre soin de la Terre-Mère

from Specialty Matters | Actualités en spécialité · host Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada

How we treat Mother Earth today impacts the health of our future population. Let's take time to reflect on how a collective view of one health, along with a few simple principles, can kickstart happier medical specialists… leading to happier and healthier patients. Join Sarah Funnell, MD, FRCPC as she encourages listeners to consider their responsibility toward a healthier planet. She talks about the long view and the need to not just consider your actions for short term gain, but reflect on those who came before you and those who will inhabit this land long after you're gone. Dr. Funnell asks medical specialists to take into account inequities in vulnerable populations, and how such inequities impact patients in climate sensitive situations. A key takeaway from this discussion:  Indigenous Health and Planetary Health are one. We have a lot to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, patients, and peers.

Prenons le temps de réfléchir à la manière dont la vision collective d'Une seule santé – combinée à quelques principes simples – contribue au mieux-être des médecins spécialistes, pour le bonheur et la santé des patients et patientes. Joignez-vous à Sarah Funnell, MD, FRCPC, pour réfléchir à notre responsabilité envers la santé de la planète. Elle parle de vision à long terme et de la nécessité d'envisager nos actions non seulement dans l'optique d'un bénéfice à court terme, mais aussi en tenant compte des personnes qui étaient là avant nous et à celles qui habiteront cette terre dans l'avenir. La Dre Funnell demande aux médecins spécialistes d'envisager les inégalités chez les populations vulnérables et leur incidence sur les patients et patientes aux prises avec des enjeux climatiques. Un point important à retenir de cette discussion : la santé des Autochtones et la santé planétaire sont indissociables. Nous avons beaucoup à apprendre de nos collègues, patients, patientes et pairs autochtones.
