Abstract

The impact of COVID-19 extends beyond the boundaries of human health. The emergence of COVID-19 provides empirical evidence that a health disaster is inevitable. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects provided a basis for this research paper to extend the view by revisiting the global policy framework of Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), as it has several limitations as stated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and hence the urgency to respond to the current global policy framework as proposed, known as Health-EDRM. The expected outcome of Health EDRM is that “countries and communities have stronger capacities and systems across health and other sectors, resulting in the decrease of the health risks and consequences associated with all types of emergencies and disasters.“ Some case studies present the success of the Health-EDRM application, such as the improvement of the existing surveillance databases, their use as a new study tool, innovations, and methodologies. It helps to identify population health risks to support Health-EDRM policy development. Therefore, this paper would like to explore to what extent the potential application of health-EDRM can be explored by using a scoping review based on the experiences of several countries. The findings using content analysis found several applications of Health-EDRM. This paper contributes to the analysis of the potential practices and responses to the components of Health-EDRM. Finally, this paper will also explore the potential recommendations on Health-EDRM practically and conceptually in Malaysia.
