CLIMATE change and natural disasters have an indirect impact on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), says Health and Medical Services Minister Rosy Akbar.
She made the comment while launching Fiji's first Climate Change and Health Strategic Plan for 2016-2020 at the ministry's headquarters in Suva yesterday.
The minister said the plan would implement measures in adaptation to climate change for the health system in Fiji in order to prevent and reduce risks in people's health and well-being.
