00:00500,000 people are chronically ill and thanks to drugs they are able to have a life expectancy
00:13similar to those who are not ill. This is a success, it is a success for doctors and
00:20it is a success for drugs, but what is not good is that instead increases the number of
00:27tumors and increases the rate of leukemia. All this we are facing today because these
00:37cases have a genesis that naturally has to do with the environment, it has to do also
00:44with the increased life expectancy, but it has to do with the environment. Water,
00:52land and air are vehicles of pollution today so serious that they are the cause of cardiovascular
01:03diseases, lung diseases and above all for what concerns us also rheumatological diseases.
01:08Working on this front today is indispensable. Prevention, unfortunately, is the ashes of
01:16health care and this is a space in which associations and civil society have to
01:26intervene and create partnerships with doctors, with health institutions, but above all with
01:36politics so that these issues are addressed seriously.
