Swansea Action for Sustainable Healthcare (SWASH) is a Swansea University society that works with health board medical professionals and medical school staff with the aim to reduce the environmental impact of education and healthcare. We assess this impact yearly via meetings with local healthcare professionals and analysis of our Planetary Health Report Card result which enables us to set goals to improve certain areas such as research and community outreach. Over the years we have run campaigns, research projects, sustainable prescribing locally, passed British Medical Association (BMA) motions regarding our curriculum, virtual networking and educational conferences / webinars. We look forward to collaborate within the Planetary Health Community and aim to network with other members, educate ourselves further on novel sustainable healthcare practice, find new opportunities for future initiatives and present our most current projects progression.

Swasti is a global health equity CSO aiming to add 100 million healthy days to the lives of the most marginalized by 2030. Established in 2004, we believe that this can only be achieved through people-centered health systems. Swasti’s scale of operations in the past has covered 25 countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, reaching over 2 million people from diverse communities, such as sex workers, migrants, farmers, factory workers, and slum dwellers.

Over the years, as a public health organization, we have come to realize that it is insufficient to focus on interventions related to health without considering planetary health and its impact on the communities. We especially realize the significance of climate change on the vulnerable communities we work with and the multiple, intersecting burdens it causes in terms of loss of health and livelihood. This ranges from increased heat-related illness and mortality to increased spread of vector-borne and water-borne pathogens causing malaria, dengue, cholera, and other diseases, as well as rising food insecurity due to changing crop production patterns. Climate change also creates more disaster-prone areas and humanitarian settings that have serious implications for Swasti’s work in community and public health.

Through membership in the Planetary Health Alliance, we hope to learn from the experiences of other organizations working in the Global South in implementing planetary health interventions for vulnerable communities. This can include technical support and consultations, joint research, advocacy, and capacity building on various planetary health issues.

We remain committed to achieving a vision where climate change is mitigated, and vulnerable communities enjoy good health and well-being despite the major climatic risks they currently face.

The Swedish Organization for Global Health (SOGH) is a student-led organization at Karolinska Institutet, primarily comprised of international students representing the Biomedical Science, Health Economics & Policy, Global Health and Public Health programmes. The international landscape of the organization means that there is a wide range of cultural backgrounds; the members of SOGH would be pleased to contribute to the translation of the planetary health materials in their native languages and perhaps mold them to the cultural contexts they’re familiar with. In addition, SOGH often organizes educational seminars and workshops, sometimes collaborating with other organizations in the public health and environmental sustainability sphere. We are hoping that being members of the network will help us connect with other organizations working at the nexus of health and the environment. We would love to get to know the other members of the PHA network and share ideas on how to more effectively apply the planetary health values to our current activities as well as potentially start new ones. Lastly, we are committed to promoting the PHA Next Generation Network to the members of our group. We are excited to join the network and see what opportunities await!
