Regional learning can accelerate climate-health resilience across South & SE Asia. Thanks to Neethi Rao & Priyanka Tomar for leading our recent Brown Bag. The evidence from 10 countries points to urgent, practical steps: scale integrated info systems, lock in sustainable financing & build community accountability. @asianhealthcol's cross-country analysis showed clear, shared priorities for climate-resilient health systems: governance, financing, data, capacity & community action. #healthcare #ClimateAction #climate

. @CSEP_Org & @UNU_IIGH convened experts from South & Southeast Asia to examine financing gaps, geopolitics & the region’s needs in global health governance. The consultation will inform joint research on strengthening regional and global health systems. Read more: asianhealthcollective.org/event/regional… @asianhealthcol

🏥 Primary Healthcare – Gaps in access, quality & integration weaken equity & crisis preparedness. 🌐 Geopolitics & Health – Fragmented cooperation & weak regional voice limit Asia’s influence in global health. 📖 Read more: asianhealthcollective.org/priority-areas…

🌡️ Climate & Health – Rising temperatures, extreme weather & new disease burdens are already straining systems. Infrastructure damage, food insecurity & overlapping emergencies demand urgent, cross-border responses.

South & Southeast Asia are at the frontline of today’s biggest health challenges. 3 areas stand out as urgent priorities for regional cooperation: Climate & Health, Primary Healthcare, and Geopolitics & Health.

We carried out an extensive landscaping exercise before launching our Collective. Our analysis of regional health networks found critical gaps — in issues, geography, collaboration & policy influence. asianhealthcollective.org/research/healt…

Excited to launch the website of The Asian Collective for Health Systems- a multi-stakeholder platform incl govts, academia, civil society & development partners across 10 focus countries to strengthen health systems in South & SE Asia. 🔗 asianhealthcollective.org
