Health System Expansion

Health System Expansion is one of the themes in the themes & enablers framework. The themes represent goals that, when realized, create a robust regional system capable of managing large-scale and dynamic disasters and public health emergencies. Enablers are functional areas in which meaningful progress will increase the ability of communities and regions to actualize the identified themes. The Health System Expansion is a community focused-response that expands boundaries of traditional first responder cate to include laypersons with first-aid training.
