Resumen
Descripción
Disasters and emergencies often have
disproportionate impacts on a country’s health system and
the overall health of women, men, girls, and boys. The
interruptions of routine public health programs, such as
vaccination campaigns, are common in the wake of a disaster,
setting back gains to overall public health. This guidance
note for post- disaster health sector recovery is intended
to provide action-oriented guidance to local and central
government health sector officials who face post-disaster
challenges related to health sector recovery. It lays out
the policy, planning, financial, and implementation
decisions and activities that go into developing and putting
into effect a health sector recovery plan. Additionally,
common pitfalls are outlined as well as ways to overcome
them. The note is structured around three phases: immediate,
or initial recovery efforts as the sector transitions from
response to recovery; short-term, or recovery planning and
initial implementation; and medium-term reconstruction efforts.
