Since developing countries have both lower levels of hospital infrastructure and serious health shocks driven by air pollution, how responsive are their health care systems to these health shocks? In a new study, researchers examined the consequences of air pollution-induced health shocks in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The study found that even transitory health shocks can disrupt health care services as a result of limited capacity.
