For the study, a sample of physicians, pulmonologists and cardiologists from selected cities were approached to understand their practice and perspectives in regards to air pollution in India. Despite air pollution is becoming an important issue globally and specifically in India, the study shows how many physicians are not completely equipped to recognize and communicate the health impacts of air pollution to their patients.
The webinar is scheduled on Saturday, July 18, 5 – 6:30 PM (India time)
