Rapid, Unplanned Urbanization • Irreversible transition from rural to urban
with concentration of opportunities
• Concentration of hazards,
vulnerabilities; increased health risks
• Driving forces: ageing, urbanization,
environmental change and technological
change
• 651 million lived in slums (2009)
• Public health emergencies
• Need for an appropriate governance
mechanism to be proactive
• What’s the role of city officials, city
planners, etc and citizens themselves?

Public health emergencies
Urban • Poverty (“urban poor”) • Overcrowding • Inadequate infrastructure
• Insufficient land for
resettlement
• Complex political scenario • Quality health services but
poor access—economic, social-cultural
• Greater disaster response efforts but less coordinated
Rural • Poverty also present
• No overcrowding
• Infrastructure – very inadequate
• Sufficient land for resettlement; affected individuals can live with relatives
• Less complex politics
• Limited availability of health services—geographic access
• Response easier to organize

• Leverages existing national and regional
• Promotes synergies
![Page 48: 29 October 1 November 2014, Hong Kong SAR, Chinaserver4.afhc2014.org.hk/database/video/1031/1100/1031-1100-1.pdf · The 6th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063018/5fdcc4fc8bac33472b124546/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Guiding principles
• Adopt a whole of society multi-sectorial
approach
• Apply an all-hazards approach
• Building common capacities to manage
risks of many hazards
• Adopt a comprehensive approach across
the DRM cycle
![Page 49: 29 October 1 November 2014, Hong Kong SAR, Chinaserver4.afhc2014.org.hk/database/video/1031/1100/1031-1100-1.pdf · The 6th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063018/5fdcc4fc8bac33472b124546/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Guiding principles (2)
• Rely on country ownership, commitment and investment
• Consider community empowerment and resilience as the driving forces of DRM-H
• Ensure planning, action and resource management are based on risk assessments of geological, hydrometeorological and technological hazards
• Strengthen national and local health system functions, and promote equity
![Page 50: 29 October 1 November 2014, Hong Kong SAR, Chinaserver4.afhc2014.org.hk/database/video/1031/1100/1031-1100-1.pdf · The 6th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063018/5fdcc4fc8bac33472b124546/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Guiding principles (3)
• Position DRM-H as one of the pillars of
health security, which is a core component
of human security
![Page 51: 29 October 1 November 2014, Hong Kong SAR, Chinaserver4.afhc2014.org.hk/database/video/1031/1100/1031-1100-1.pdf · The 6th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063018/5fdcc4fc8bac33472b124546/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Criteria to link specific health
issues to human security

• Scale how many people are affected
• Urgency for action
• Intensity depth and impact on society
• Externalities spill over effect beyond
particular areas or locations.

vs. chronic/endemic diseases
– Injuries?
• Psycho-social and Mental health:
psychological, behavioral,
emotional, anxiety issues
• Food and water safety; sanitation
• Environmental health – reduction of
risks
• Morbidity/mortality risks:
immediate and longer term
– Immediate reductions in
health levels

HEALTH - a Systems approach
It is crucial to consider ‘health’ in recovery and reconstruction as a system, operating in
collaboration with other systems.
A systems approach to health draws attention to:
– Facilities and infrastructure: safe hospitals/clinics
– Human resources
– Supply chains (drugs, PPEs, supplies, etc)
– Financial resources
– Health information and its use
– Coordination: policy, planning, communication
![Page 65: 29 October 1 November 2014, Hong Kong SAR, Chinaserver4.afhc2014.org.hk/database/video/1031/1100/1031-1100-1.pdf · The 6th Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022063018/5fdcc4fc8bac33472b124546/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
HEALTH - Systems Approach A systems approach to health enables:
1. Adequate strategies – Understanding and enhancement of capacity of health system to
meet the health needs of population
– Understanding of and mitigation of system’s main vulnerabilities
– Understanding and filling of gaps in system - for instance, inclusion of surge capacity considerations
2. Appropriate allocation of resources throughout the health care system
3. Lessons learned from disaster in own or other countries to be incorporated into health system recovery and reconstruction
