Health Projects Across Asia
Building Resilient and Healthy Communities
ACCCRN Partners continue to pilot innovative
approaches across Asia aimed at improving the
lives of vulnerable populations by addressing
linkages between climate change and human
health.
INDORE, INDIA: STRENGTHENING
VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE
SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE
Issue: Due to the high-risk living conditions in the
slums of Indore built along drainage channels,
climate change related effects such as the
increased frequency of storms are exacerbating
the incidence of vector borne/waterborne diseases.
City Project: This ACCCRN project seeks to
establish an integrated disease surveillance and
response system to better monitor outbreaks and
ensure timely action for preventive interventions.
Knowledge built by this project will benefit the
broader Indore Municipal Corporation in its
sanitation and contingency planning and is critical
to resilience and capacity-building.
CAN THO, VIETNAM: DEVELOPING
SALINITY MONITORING MECHANISMS
Issue: Even areas traditionally not affected by
climate change are identifying the need to develop
new strategies to improve local resilience. With
about two thirds of the local population relying on
river and surface water, increasing saline intrusion
in Can Tho threatens livelihoods and health of
residents as well as public infrastructure.
LARVA COLLECTION FOR DENGUE FEVER RESEARCH
IN CAN THO, VIETNAM
CAN THO, VIETNAM: STRENGTHENING
DENGUE FEVER SYSTEMS
Issue: With cases increasing in both severity and
number, Can Tho is undertaking measures to
enhance knowledge about the linkages between
climate change and dengue fever.
City Project: Through an evidence-based
approach, this ACCCRN project is providing
baseline data that will support intervention activities
and improved response to outbreaks by enabling
vulnerable communities to access public health
services. Moving from research, to implementation
and evaluation, the project offers a comprehensive
approach to improving local health outcomes.
City Project: By monitoring saline levels, this
project will allow local officials to assess the impact
of salinity in high risk wards, improve public
awareness, and allow for the piloting of new saline
resiliency models.
