The 5 Es for Building Climate-Resilient Healthcare Facilities The PHFI Centre for Environmental Health conducted a great meeting today morning on ‘Building a Framework on Advancing Climate Resilient Healthcare Facilities’ primarily with large and small hospitals from the H.E.L.P network of PHFI. Hospitals from across India participated in the conversation. There are just two important words when defining #resilience. The power to ‘withstand shocks’ and ‘to transform’. The conversation was around these two powers mainly with case studies and real-life experiences with a few dollops of theory laced in between. In our past conversations with other hospitals, we had heard the hospitals speak about the 3 important factors they consider critical to their transformation. The 3 Es – Efficiency. Economic returns. Environment smartness. Today we heard about two more Es from the participants. Engagement within the network. Addressing Emergencies. This gives a more holistic profile of how the HELP network of hospitals may want to evolve as climate-resilient hospitals across the network. #Efficient in delivering high-quality healthcare #Economically viable to transform healthcare delivery #Environment smart across the management of energy, water, airflow, materials used, machines deployed, trained manpower, and waste management #Engaged with each other. Learning, adapting, documenting, and disseminating good practices. Prepared for #Emergencies with protocols, processes, and trained human resources. We will share some of the case studies presented today with you soon.
