| What does the concept of climate resilient healthcare infrastructure involve? | the capacity of healthcare facility to adapt, reorganize and evolve to be better prepared for future disasters and climate change impacts | supported through PIP proposals are as following ( DetailsAnnexure 6) Climate resilient Healthcare Infrastructure refers to the capacity of healthcare facility to adapt, reorganize and evolve to be better prepared for future disasters and climate change impacts. Health care facilities need to take effective measures to withstand the impacts of increasing extreme weather events and other climate- related hazards such as higher temperatures, increasing precipitation over longer periods of time (causing increased flooding), intense but short-lived rainfall (causing flash flooding), decreasing precipitation (affecting places where rainwater harvesting contributes to the water supply systems of health care facilities), and higher winds and storms. 1. | 124 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/1-NPCCHH-PIP%20Guidance%20document%202026-27%20%202027-28.pdf | supported through PIP proposals are as following ( DetailsAnnexure 6) Climate resilient Healthcare Infrastructure refers to the capacity of healthcare facility to adapt, reorganize and evolve to be better prepared for future disasters and climate change impacts. | 15 | page=15,block=3 | 0.700 | valid |

| What is the purpose of the District Action Plan on Climate Change and Human Health? | allowing districts to pre-plan response of health sector to each climate sensitive health issues and allocate resources | NPCCHH, launched in 2019, has been establishing organizational framework and rolling out activities according to its five key objectives. To fulfil its vision, establishment of district level organizational structure i.e. District Nodal Officer-Climate Change (DNO) and District Multisectoral Task Force (DTF) in all the districts is a priority. They are important for timely implementation and adequate attention to local vulnerabilities. DTF is vital to identify locally relevant climate change and health issues and focus NPCCHH activities through DNO with support from various concerned departments to increase awareness among population and strengthening health care. District Action Plan on Climate Change and Human Health (DAPCCHH) is an essential document allowing districts to pre-plan response of health sector to each climate sensitive health issues and allocate resources. | 764 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/1-NPCCHH-PIP%20Guidance%20document%202026-27%20%202027-28.pdf | District Action Plan on Climate Change and Human Health (DAPCCHH) is an essential document allowing districts to pre-plan response of health sector to each climate sensitive health issues and allocate resources. | ||||
