Dr Muluken Basa, Dr Ross Brannigan, Dr Maisoon Mairghani, Dr @sharpmelk.bsky.social & Prof Debbi Stanistreet write that clean air is achievable, affordable & economically beneficial. The true cost of delay is lives shortened, healthcare costs & communities left behind.
@epaireland.bsky.social

Four surgeons in blue surgical gowns, masks, and caps perform an operation in a tiled operating theatre under bright surgical lights. Medical equipment and storage cabinets are visible in the background. RCSI branding appears in the top-right corner with the text “RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences,” and a red graphic in the bottom-right corner reads “RCSI Educate.”
