Resumen
Descripción
This guidance document consolidates and conveys key concepts and measures to promote resilient, green, and inclusive health facilities linked to three key phases of the facility investment life cycle: planning, design, and operation. Resilient health facilities maintain functionality and provide sufficient capacity to reliably deliver essential health services during and after extreme events such as natural disasters or epidemics, and despite exposure to chronic stresses, such as demographic pressures on health systems or climate variability. Green health facilities are designed and operated to reduce resource consumption and minimize negative impacts on the environment throughout their life cycle. Inclusive health facilities provide equitable and accessible health care to users of all ages and abilities by considering their diverse needs and addressing potential barriers to access.
