The significant alteration in weather conditions has precipitated an unprecedented Category 5+ hurricane, which extensively damaged the western region of Jamaica. Climate change and previously unseen meteorological phenomena are now being observed globally, giving rise to a public health crisis. This hurricane has compromised fundamental aspects of human life in Jamaica, encompassing health, livelihoods, and the vital environments upon which communities rely. In confronting this multifaceted emergency, it is essential to comprehend and mitigate its broad consequences for public health and societal stability. As the evolving weather patterns continue to present novel global challenges, the healthcare sector must adapt to safeguard community well-being and ensure the enduring viability of healthcare services.
This conference, titled "Reviving Healthcare: Future Ready Propositions, Resiliency and Rebuilding," is designed to address the critical nexus of healthcare and climate change. It will achieve this by examining sustainable methodologies, innovative remedies, and strategies to develop and support an agile, responsive healthcare system and a resilient healthcare workforce. The focus will be on addressing the resultant healthcare demands, such as mental health services, injury treatment, and disease management; exploring environmentally conscious, disaster-resistant facilities and infrastructure; and utilizing innovative technologies and leadership for successful reconstruction. The conference will underscore the necessity for collaborative endeavors to establish weather-related healthcare policies, thereby ensuring the adoption of sustainable and adaptable systems capable of effectively managing the challenges posed by severe changes in weather patterns.
