In the realm of global health, a significant and often overlooked aspect comes to light - the environmental burden of disease. This narrative highlights the interconnectedness between the environment and human health, emphasizing the vital role our surroundings play in our overall well-being.

The UAE Environmental Burden of Disease Model is a statistical model that enables the estimation of the burden of human disease linked to environmental pollution and climate change.
