Medicines for the environment

GETTING access to affordable quality healthcare is one of the privileges that people should not take for granted . This access enables them to get treated whenever they are sick . And most of the time , after the treatment , these people will be given medicines to boost their immune systems .

However , how do these prescribed medicines and other pharmaceutical products for humans boost the environment ’ s immune system ? Is there a medicine to treat and cure the environment ?
Whilst pharmaceutical players may be striving to improve the quality of their pharmaceutical products , they should also be game-changers and provide quality medicines to better the environment .
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) report shows that the world will probably reach or exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming within the next two decades . There is no better time than now for these players to embrace sustainability .
The growing demand for medicines due to the pandemic , coupled with the need to address climate change , will keep pharmaceutical manufacturers on their toes . However , no effort goes in vain . Addressing these climate issues and adopting sustainable practices as quickly as possible will benefit the pharmaceutical players in the long run .
With more and more people becoming more aware of the climate crisis , there ’ s a high possibility that green pharmaceuticals will be in high demand . Therefore , in providing quality , effective medicines to the people , pharmaceutical manufacturers can also be the leading examples in taking care of the environment . It will be ironic to have healthy people live in a sick environment . p16 p16 Impact on offshore workers
