The Health Emergency Management Program is a structured approach used by healthcare organizations, governments, and other relevant stakeholders to prepare for, respond to, and recover from health emergencies and disasters. It seeks to safeguard public health and safety by ensuring that healthcare systems and communities are adequately equipped to promptly respond to and recuperate from emergencies and catastrophes. The effectiveness of these programs relies on the crucial collaboration among government agencies, healthcare organizations, community groups, and other stakeholders.
