WHO - World Health Organization (via Public) / Building climate-resilient health systems in Lao People s Democratic Republic

Building climate-resilient health systems in Lao People’s Democratic Republic Lao People s Democratic Republic is already feeling the impacts of climate change, and these impacts are increasingly affecting people s health and straining an already overloaded health system. Since 2019, the country has been implementing a project to help increase the climate resilience and capacity of its health systems to better respond to climate-sensitive health risks. Strengthening health system capacity to be climate resilient is a country priority in Lao People s Democratic Republic, which is vulnerable to flood and drought. Shortening rainy seasons and lengthening dry seasons are already having an impact on the incidence of climate-sensitive diseases such as water and vector-borne diseases, by increasing chances of outbreaks occurring. The health system needs to be resilient and ready to mitigate, as well as to respond at all times, in order to protect and improve community health.
