WHO in partnership with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) supported a study “Action Plan to Enhance Climate-Resilient Health Facilities at the Hospitals in Madhya Pradesh.” The underlying principle of the study was to assess climate change risks to healthcare facilities and identify adaptive management strategies to build resilience.
As part of the action plan, we prepared a guidance document for the public healthcare facilities at the district and block levels to help them better deal with the challenges of climate change. This document provided guidance on critical infrastructure, electricity, clean drinking water, food service delivery, waste disposal and treatment.
