The Swedish Sustainability Foundation is honored to host a session at
the 5th Global YES Summit - Rework the World, 2 - 5 June in Leksand
Joint solutions to health problems and clean water access
Arsenic in the ground water is responsible for a gigantic health problem in Bangladesh. The vast majority of affected people live in rural areas and lack access to information and equipment to deal with this. This session will bring attention to possible steps forward for a comprehensive solution to this health crisis (both to treat the symptoms and deal with the root problems), combining the most recent science and technology with a decentralized distribution and implementation model. In implementing these solutions, hundreds of people may be engaged initially, with potential for thousands of new jobs if implemented large scale.
Time: 4th of June, 16:30
