World Bank, University of Ghana propose urgent policy recommendations to tackle Ghana’s climate-health risks

In a collaborative effort, the World Bank and the University of Ghana School of Public Health have issued a report addressing the intersection of climate change and public health in Ghana.

The Climate and Health Vulnerability Assessment (CHVA) for Ghana report underscores six critical policy recommendations aimed at bolstering the nation’s health system against the adverse impacts of climate change.

Highlighting the pressing need for action, the report emphasizes the imperative of implementing a comprehensive 10-year plan to enhance Ghana’s health sector resilience in the face of climate challenges.

Moreover, it advocates for the integration of climate adaptation objectives across relevant sectors, underscoring the interconnectedness of climate and health policy frameworks.

Addressing the urgent need for data-driven planning, the report stresses the importance of equipping the health workforce with climate data to effectively respond to evolving health needs across both urban and rural areas.

Furthermore, it calls for the enhancement of health information systems to encompass a wider range of climate-sensitive conditions, coupled with periodic vulnerability assessments at national and sub-national levels.

The CHVA report also underscores the necessity of upgrading health facilities with climate-smart infrastructure and ensuring consistent availability of essential drugs and equipment to combat climate-sensitive infectious diseases.

Additionally, it advocates for multi-sectoral actions to address key health determinants and strengthen emergency communication systems.

Crucially, the report emphasizes the significance of sustained and holistic financing mechanisms to support climate-resilient health initiatives, urging vigilant monitoring of climate-related health expenditures in alignment with policy commitments.

Against the backdrop of Ghana’s vulnerability to extreme weather events and escalating health risks, the CHVA report serves as a clarion call for decisive action to safeguard public health in the face of a changing climate.

With climate variability projected to exacerbate existing health challenges, the recommendations outlined in the report offer a roadmap for building adaptive capacity and resilience within Ghana’s health system.

In essence, the CHVA report underscores the imperative of concerted efforts at the national and international levels to confront the complex interplay between climate change and public health, safeguarding the well-being of Ghana’s population.
