Cuando la tierra cede: desastres naturales y salud pública en África subsahariana

·19 min·1 clip
Britain's NHS would collapse without healthcare workers from sub-Saharan Africa, a reverse subsidy richer nations never acknowledge.
This bilingual Spanish-English podcast episode uses a landslide disaster in Tanzania's Mbeya region as a case study to examine the intersection of climate change, public health system fragility, and global inequality. The hosts analyze how deforestation and intensified rainfall lead to disasters, then trace the cascading public health consequences including trauma care gaps, waterborne diseases, and mental health impacts, while critiquing international climate funding and health worker brain drain.
