Climate-health training for health workers in Africa can strengthen climate adaptation and resilience. In an interview, Caroline Muthoni, a climate-health expert, explains the impact of the recently launched Africa Climate and Health Responders Course and why such capacity building matters in Africa.
“Health workers are at the forefront of responding to climate-related health emergencies, so they’re best placed to understand and address the impacts of climate change. If we build their capacity and make health systems more resilient, they’ll be better positioned to conduct disease surveillance and control." Says Caroline Muthoni.
The Africa Climate and Health Responders Course was developed by the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education in collaboration with Africa CDC, WHO AFRO, Climate Health African Network for Collaboration and Engagement and other regional partners.
