Abstract

Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges of the 21st century with far-reaching impacts on various sectors, including public health. This research aims to study how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments, with an emphasis on environmental and behavioural factors that influence the spread of disease. The quantitative method used in this study is descriptive-analytic design. Descriptive research is used to describe the phenomenon of the spread of infectious diseases in urban environments associated with climate change components such as air temperature, rainfall, and humidity. Over five years, the incidence rate of dengue fever in West Sumatra has fluctuated and continued to increase. As shown, the rainfall pattern is changing and increasing. The picture shows a trend of increasing rainfall along with an increase in the number of dengue cases. However, there is a time difference, or time lag, between the increase in cases. Every region should have an early warning system for extraordinary dengue events. As climatic factors change, environmental improvements are also needed along with changes in other factors such as behaviour and health services.

Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) remain major health challenges in developing countries, driven by socioeconomic disparities, limited education, and poor healthcare access. Lack of knowledge about prenatal care is a key factor. This review examines the impact of health education on reducing maternal and infant mortality and provides evidence to support stronger health programs and policies.Findings show that health education enhances pregnant women’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to pregnancy and infant care. Prenatal checkups help detect anemia, malnutrition, hypertension, and infections, allowing early intervention. Education also reduces anxiety, supports mental health, and improves birth outcomes.Despite its benefits, implementation faces barriers such as limited resources, insufficient healthcare personnel, poor access in remote areas, and cultural or socioeconomic constraints.In conclusion, health education is an effective strategy to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Developing culturally appropriate, sustainable, and accessible programs is essential to strengthen maternal services and improve outcomes for mothers and infants.
