The Frontline Scorecard – Diagnosing the disaster resilience of health systems

Created 49 days ago by Unknown

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • A new report by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) presents a tool for conducting an initial broad-based assessment of the resilience of a country’s health system to disasters and climate change.
  • Disaster resilience not only depends on the robustness of the health system, but also on its seamless integration with a country’s emergency management and infrastructure systems.
  • Operational examples, notably from Belize, demonstrate how the Scorecard can guide the direction for more in-depth technical assistance, and thus help with identifying and prioritizing concrete actions for building resilience.
