Climate change has a significant impact on the population’s health and negatively affects functioning of healthcare systems. Health systems must be operationally prepared to handle challenges posed by environmental change. Resilience is required adapt quickly critical conditions reduce carbon emissions. In this systematic review strategies, for system preparedness resilience are examined address impacts climate change, barriers faced when implementing them. To identify studies, Scopus, PubMed Google Scholar databases were searched three times (from April October 2024, 21 April, 15 June, 9 September) years 2018 using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) methodology. Specifically, search identified 471 articles, which specified inclusion exclusion criteria (secondary studies with criteria, being in English, etc.) met sixteen (16) studies. According findings reviewed, adaptation strategies focus structural changes, development training programs, surveillance systems, appropriate operational plans. The leader’s ability motivate employees achieve defined goals, continuous evaluation goals interventions, learning from previous disasters play an important role their implementation. Similarly, key policies mitigation include adoption sustainable practices, such as recycling cultural However, lack resources (human, material, financial) increased demand services make it difficult implement strategies. mainly theoretical nature confirmed other It suggested that further research should pursued, leading sustainability formulation policies.
