Integration and use of climate data by the national health system in Mozambique
Ongoing work to develop a health sector climate change adaptation plan and revitalize the Public Health Emergency Operations Center could be key to accelerating efforts to improve climate data use to inform infectious disease outbreak preparedness and response. Results from piloting of the early warning system could be used to advocate for climate data integration into the NHS to help in identifying the impact of climate change on health and designing effective plans to address climate-related infectious disease outbreaks.
