Repower Health is a relatively new organization but its bold goals defy its nascent status - it wants to see the Australian health industry adapt to climate change and play a key role in the mitigation of the causes of the world's disrupted climate system. A group of health professionals is behind Repower Health and here national director, Alex Bhatal, explains what the group does and how it goes about making a more climate friendly health system a reality.
The Melbourne launch of Repower Health late in October attracted about 60 people and had the immediate past president of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War, Dr Margaret Beavis, at the master of ceremonies.
