Building Resilience in Health Infrastructure project successfully concluded!
The effective collaboration between the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and ETH Zürich made it possible to develop ready-to-use tools for hospital resilience operationalization in conflict-affected areas.
The former IM member external page Rossella Marmo, together with Prof. Bryan Adey, developed a model and a dashboard to assess hospital resilience with a focus on Mass Casualty Incidents. The tool clearly outlines where to intervene to ensure that the intervention will have the largest possible impact in terms of resilience and this will facilitate the discussion between humanitarian organisations and hospitals on support intervention planning.
