Six months on from the worst flooding in Pakistan\u2019s history, a medic in eastern Balochistan describes what he is seeing daily.

Khalid Saleem, who works for the charity M\xe9decins Sans Fronti\xe8res (Doctors Without Borders), says many people are still living in shelters at the side of the road and must walk miles if they need healthcare. There are high levels of malnutrition, malaria and skin conditions such as scabies.

We also talk Professor Zainab Samad, from Aga Khan University in Islamabad, who is the author of a major new report on the country\u2019s health. She describes how people in these areas were already worse off even before the floods and says it will take years to recover \u2013 but it is everyone\u2019s responsibility to help make society healthier.

We hear from Dr Lindsay Dewa and medical student Simi Adewale on their project to explore digital connection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Imperial College London worked with young people to make a short film about the impact on young people\u2019s mental health.

And our guest is family doctor Ann Robinson, who\u2019ll discuss the latest studies and health news, including strict new alcohol guidance for Canada and how \u201cbed dancing\u201d is helping hospital patients.
