Training on Crisis Response Health Information System 2017

One effort to overcome the health crisis caused by the disaster is to monitor and report the health problems arising from the disaster. The reported information includes the types of disasters that have occurred, the number of victims, the damaged health facilities and the crisis response efforts that have been done.

Furthermore, the information can be used as input and reference material by policymakers and program managers to determine what efforts need to be done not only in the context of emergency health crisis response, but also risk reduction and post-crisis health efforts.

To obtain data and information quickly and accurately, it takes an online information system and connect to the district level. This facilitates the coordination of health crisis management between the Central and Regional Governments. Currently Health Crisis Center already has an Information System called Crisis Information System Health Health (SI-PKK) online. Reports of disaster events / health crises can be reported through this system or manually via email or an android-based SI-PKK application.
