Former Taiwan Vice President Chen Chien-jen is calling for more climate-resilient health care systems across the Pacific, warning that extreme weather is putting island nations’ medical systems at risk. Speaking at a health and sustainability forum in Palau, Chen encouraged health care facilities to install solar power, battery storage and backup water systems so they can continue operating during emergencies. His comments come as Pacific island nations face growing risks from extreme weather and the challenges they pose to health care infrastructure and emergency preparedness.
