On its way to build a more resilient city, able to respond efficiently to the adversities imposed by urbanization and climate change, Rio de Janeiro faces significant challenges related to its healthcare system.
When public catastrophes occur, such as landslides, or an epidemic, such as dengue fever or Ebola, primary care is decisive. Beyond epidemics, Rio and big cities around the world are facing health care burdens stemming from climate change, aging populations, chronic diseases, and accessibility.
How cities can tackle these problems, innovate, and reform their health care system at the grassroots level? In our workshop, Community Resilience and Public Health Practices, three experts will discuss policies and practices implemented in Brazil and in the United States that are enhancing health care resilience.
