3.3. Other health priorities for reconstruction
In addition to rebuilding health facilities seriously damaged or destroyed in a disaster, planning for reconstruction in the health sector should look to the future and prioritize other areas where strengthening contributes to improved preparedness and response, including:
- Strengthening the primary care level
- Procurement of basic equipment
- Water and sewerage networks
- Strengthening the sector’s Emergency Operations Centers (health EOCs)
- Strengthening technical units and programs
- Updating guides, standards, and regulations
