Resilient Hospitals: An inter-regional guidance on strengthening resilience to health emergencies and disasters in health facilities

The guidance presented in this publication emphasizes how key actions can be integrated into a hospital’s routine operational systems, functions, and services in a way that will strengthen how the facility prepares for, responds to, and recovers from the impact of a range of hazards, including epidemics and pandemics, while building back better. This information has been developed for use by hospital managers; heads of hospital departments; members of hospital emergency management committees, including support services and administration; and finance and health authorities responsible for planning and coordinating health emergency and disaster risk management in health facilities.
