ABSTRACT

Progressing from the identification of loss potential, the seventh chapter aims to assess the economics of achieving resilience in healthcare infrastructure. The chapter commences with the impact of EWEs on the economy of the country and their effects on different levels of development. Strategies and methods to finance resilience are identified, along with international cost models that calculate loss potential and the safety index of healthcare facilities. Losses, tangible and intangible, are studied, along with direct and indirect value losses. Establishing the global context of safety index and loss potential, the chapter concludes with techniques to achieve economic resilience and financial strategies.
