The REACH project celebrated a key milestone with the development of a functional #prototype agent-based model using #AI generated data #simulating how #climate hazards impact #women’s care seeking behaviour and #health facilities.

This #prototype represents a significant step towards #building a #SDM to assess the impacts of #floods, #heat, and resilience-building interventions on #health #service delivery, focusing on the #processes that drive #supply of services in #Brazil and #Zambia.

@ukri.org features #REACH as one of the outstanding projects collaborating with partners worldwide to advance health and alleviate poverty. You can view the feature on the UKRI website here: www.ukri.org/what-we-do/b....

#REACH Researchers in #Brazil participated in the #Multisectoral #local planning and #disaster preparedness meeting with the Municipality of Palmares, underscoring the recognition of our team as valued stakeholders. Read more👉 www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen...

The analyses from Objectives 1-3 are informing the development of quantitative simulation models to quantify how climate extremes affect maternal and child health systems over time. These models will help explore how different adaptation strategies can reduce climate impacts.

We are developing a #quantitative simulation #models to better understand and quantify how #climate extremes affect #maternal and #child #health systems over time. These models will help us explore how different #adaptation strategies can #reduce climate impacts.

The purpose of these efforts is to understand and cost interventions that enhance resilience to floods and extreme heat in climate affected regions.

Our recent #Objective2&3 workshop brought together teams from #Brazil, #Zambia, #UK and #Austria to deepen Causal Loop Diagrams (#CLDs)analysis, identify emerging differences between country models, and update data needs for model #calibration and #validation.

#REACH researchers contributed to a great new resource for the #health #systems community, a #book called: Health Systems Resilience: #Understanding Complex #Adaptive Systems (ed Karl Blanchet). Read more here: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edi...

Thrilled our @reachproject-lshtm.bsky.social research was featured in the Climate Newsletter of Jornal Matinal (Porto Alegre, Brazil)! Ricardo Romanoff’s article reinforces the urgent need to address climate change impacts on maternal & child health systems.

What are we aiming to discover through our research? We are #reviewing evidence on #strategies to #reduce the #impact of floods and heatwaves on #MCH services using multi-criteria decision analysis #(MCDA) to prioritise interventions based on their #impact, #acceptability, and #feasibility.

Reminder! The editors of PLOS Climate's Health section are calling for submissions on the theme of Heat and Health. Learn more here 👇 latitude.plos.org/2025/03/plos...

What are we aiming to discover through our research? We are #qualitatively investigating and #mapping the #factors that contribute to both #vulnerability and #resilience in #maternal and #child health (MCH) systems in the face of #floods and extreme #heat.

The #REACH Objective 1 workshop brought together researchers from #Zambia, #Brazil, #UK, and #Sweden to advance #data analyses and refine #statistical methods. Key #outputs included finalised statistical methods and a detailed spreadsheet of primary and comparative analyses.

What are we aiming to discover through our research? We are generating #evidence on how #extreme heat and flooding affect #maternal and #child health #care #use and #affordability. Through a #realist-informed systematic review and analysis of health #data from #Zambia and #Brazil.

Research reveals a shift from passive to strategic co-financing is critical to maximize health & climate gains. Climate finance is an untapped resource for health—unlocking it requires integration, advocacy, and cross-sector collaboration. Read full paper: academic.oup.com/heapol/artic...
