Abstract
Low-and Middle-income countries are faced with various situations some expected while others are unexpected. Among the expected, are chronic endemic diseases as well as seasonal outbreaks as well as unexpected disease outbreaks including emerging and re-emerging diseases.
While endemic diseases are expected, a certain level of preparedness is required to strategize on appropriate responses to prevent, control and or treat the disease. Economically, LMIC have varying health system and financial capacities to manage emergencies and crises. While some can withstand short term shocks, other countries can be overwhelmed with gross repercussions. Sustainable recovery, aligned with the SDG, requires cross-sectoral actions and mechanisms to manage unavoidable trade-offs between short and long-term priorities, and between economic, social, and environmental policy goals. Strategic planning and community awareness are crucial in managing health emergencies and building resilience. The “Sinkhole Phenomenon” is a reality in LMIC, the more the challenges in LMIC are overlooked and or ignored, the weaker the resilience in LMIC. Thus, strategic planning is an area worth investing in, by setting frameworks that are in line with IHR; as well as inclusive to meet the needs of the affected populations in LMIC, according to prevailing culture, norms, resources, and setting. There is hope of better outcomes for sustainable health if LMIC can build strong health systems.
