AMONG GENERAL PUBLIC
Doctors must educate the general public about the serious ill-effects of Air Pollution and the damage to their health and future generations due to breathing dirty air.
'Doctors for Clean Air' (DFCA), was launched on December 4, 2018 bringing together more than 40 senior Doctors (including Pulmonologists, Surgeons, Paediatricians, Radiologists etc.) representing every state of the country. These doctors took the social responsibility to become Clean Air Champions to advocate for Clean Air by highlighting the health ill-effects of Air Pollution and promoting viable solutions.
Top office bearers of 12 leading National Medical Associations, representing over 1.5 lakh specialist Doctors of India, also joined the program and committed themselves to this cause and will work for Clean Air for all in India.
Nobody sees the health ill effects of air pollution as closely as doctors, as they see the affected patients and manage them. Additionally, when doctors talk to their patients and families, they are more likely to be able to motivate them as they talk from a position of strength. Thus, doctors can be a "motivated motivator". They can translate the studies across the world which link Air Pollution and health into simple, understandable words for the common people.
"Doctors for Clean Air" will be a network of identified, passionate and trained Doctors who will lead the fight against Air Pollution in their respective regions across India.
