You can’t see PM2.5, but its impact on your health can be real.

These tiny particles can travel deep into your lungs and long term exposure is linked to serious health risks.

Just because the air looks clean doesn’t mean it is.

Every breath matters.

Healthcare must go beyond treating illness to preventing it.

At the Joint Conference on Health-Centred Air Quality Management and Governance, Dr. Ankit Bansal, Senior Consultant – Pulmonology & Critical Care and Chairperson, Jaipur Forum for Clean Air, highlighted the need to shift the focus from treating diseases to preventing them.

Air pollution does not affect the lungs alone. It can impact the heart, brain and other body systems. Healthcare professionals therefore have an important role in understanding these health impacts, educating patients and families, and promoting preventive measures.

Prevention begins with awareness and healthcare has a key role to play.

What happened in Nepal was more than a flood.

It was a chain of events shaped by a warming climate, fragile mountain systems and the communities living downstream.

As the Himalayas continue to change, understanding these connections becomes increasingly important not just to respond to disasters, but to prepare for what comes next.

Some values never lose their relevance.

This Gandhi Jayanti, we remember Mahatma Gandhi and his enduring belief in truth, peace and non-violence — values that continue to remind us that meaningful change begins with how we choose to live, act and contribute.

What happens when the conversation about breathing goes beyond the lungs?

At the 60th International Conference on Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ICAAICON 2026) in Indore, held from 24–27 September 2026, clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals came together around the theme “Breathe Better, Live Better.”

A key part of the conversation was the connection between air pollution, climate change and human health, with a focus on their impact on respiratory and overall health, particularly among vulnerable populations.

During the conference, Dr. Arvind Kumar, Founder & Managing Trustee, Lung Care Foundation, addressed a fundamental question: “Does Air Pollution Impact Health at All?”—bringing attention to the health impacts of air pollution.

Lung Care Foundation (LCF) and Doctors for Clean Air & Climate Action (DFCA) were part of ICAAICON 2026, with Dr. Salil Bhargava, Chairperson, Indore Forum for Clean Air & Climate Action, serving as the Organising Secretary.

The discussions brought together medical professionals, NGOs and public-health organisations, strengthening lung-health awareness, clean-air advocacy, preventive action and collaboration.

This helped increase the visibility and acknowledgement of the health effects of air pollution in public discourse, government policies and public-health curriculum, while strengthening the focus on the connection between environmental health and public health.

When the medical community comes together to discuss the air we breathe, it reinforces a simple truth:

Better air is part of better health.

What happens when clean air becomes a two-way conversation?

In 2025, Saanjhi Hawa Te Sehat brought farmers, doctors, health officials, and agriculture teams together across Amritsar to talk about air pollution, health, and sustainable solutions.

2,000+ farmers. One shared conversation.

A conversation that moved from awareness to understanding, trust, and action.

Today, that story is available in both English and Punjabi, bringing these conversations closer to the communities at the heart of them.

Climate change isn’t a distant problem it is already shaping the conditions we live, breathe and build our lives in.

As global temperatures rise, the window to limit deeper and more lasting climate impacts becomes narrower.

What we do now can influence how much warming we experience, how communities adapt, and how much environmental damage can still be avoided.

The science is clear: climate action is also about protecting the systems that support human health.

Because a safer climate starts with protecting the air we breathe.

Healthcare must go beyond treating illness to preventing it.

At the Joint Conference on Health-Centred Air Quality Management and Governance, Dr. Rahul Arora, Senior General Physician, Amritsar, highlighted the importance of spending time with patients and helping them understand the health consequences of air pollution.

Simply treating patients and prescribing medicines is a reactive approach. From a public health perspective, healthcare needs to move towards a more proactive and preventive approach, where patients understand the problem and the importance of prevention.

By going beyond treatment and building awareness, we can move towards a more preventive approach to healthcare.
