ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTH ✒ Dr. Arsène Bienvenu Loembe Health, good health of course, is the necessary and imperceptibly prior condition for our stability and our physical and emotional well-being. Our quality of life, and that of our loved ones, relates in many ways to the degree of strength of our health. That´s the reason why we fight all the endogenous and exogenous actions that disturb it or that deteriorate its normal healthy and balanced state. The quality of air, water, food, sanitation services and health care at different territorial and outpatient levels, allows us to measure the general physical health around us and the healthy or perverse effects of these matters over people and the social community where their lives unfold. The fight against climate change integrates many elements of health defense and protection, as well as against diseases associated with the lack of care for the natural environment. Doctor Loembé is an experienced and well recognized Medical Doctor and Scientist, graduated from the “Free University Medical Center” in Amsterdam, with more than eighteen years of experience in clinical oncology and cancer drugs research and development, and a growing interest in the impact that climate change has on the incidence and prevention of cancer. All this work, research and experience, will be reflected, and be part, of a book of imminent publication. Dr. Vicente López-Ibor Mayor
