(KPL/VNA) Laos has launched a project to strengthen its health system by building community capacity to better cope with the health impacts caused by climate change.

The project aims to strengthen the climate resilience of the country's health system by supporting the government in addressing climate-related health challenges through boosting community capacity to manage health impacts.

According to a report from the Centre of Information and Education for Health under the Lao Ministry of Health, the project will enhance the use of climate data and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) indicators to monitor and prepare for climate risks in 25 vulnerable districts. It will also collaborate with health service providers to upgrade 79 health facilities nationwide.

Lao health officials and relevant agencies reviewed the project's objectives, scope, and timeline. They also clarified roles and responsibilities, introduced implementation tools and methods, and promoted cooperation, monitoring, and evaluation strategies.
