Resilient Health Infrastructure (RHI) is part of MERCY Malaysia’s Building Resilient Communities (BRC) initiative. It is a program focusing on advocating planned preparations in strengthening hospitals’ and other capacity of health infrastructure in order to respond effectively during disasters as well as fast recovery from the impact of extreme events. 

Considering health infrastructure such as hospitals as complex and sophisticated organizations, hospital management and its built environment representing building and infrastructure systems within a defined boundary should perform in a predictable manner during and after a hazard and/or disaster.

The objective of the RHI training is to increase and introduce hospital and its management team to the concept and practice of DRR, and improve the hospital’s disaster preparedness and critical infrastructure’s resilience through the implementation of DRM.

The RHI initiative discusses strategic approaches taken to increase the level of resiliency for health infrastructure, with focus on the criteria of 4Rs - robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness and rapidity. Its aim is to form clear understanding of hospital resilience, and help in the understanding in drafting preliminary conceptual framework for a more resilient health infrastructure.
