The TripleRM Global Health Management Model (GHMM): Strategic risk management of vector borne infectious diseases to build healthy, sustainable, adaptable and resilient communities: (Strategic global health security risk assessment, resilience planning and resource management in urban and rural envi

Abstract

Over the last 30 years, rising global temperatures due to climate change have led to changes in, and proximal to, urban and rural ecosystems. These changes have caused the patterns of transmission of infectious diseases by vectors, such as mosquitoes, to vary considerably. Diseases such as Dengue Fever, Malaria and Zika (caused by the Zika Virus) have re-emerged where they had disappeared, have become more pervasive in the areas they already existed, and have now emerged in cities where they were previously not seen. In order to combat this dangerous trend while meeting the targets set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, public health officials in charge of urban and rural environments constantly have sought ways to reduce the risk from a disease outbreak. The TripleRM Global Health Management Model (GHMM) can be used for Disease Outbreak and Response in Urban and Rural Environments. It is designed for risk assessment, resilience building and resource management, and can be utilized to research the effectiveness of processes implemented in disease detection and response. The TripleRM Global Health Management Model (GHMM) can be used for reduction or elimination of risk to populations by identifying situational and process vulnerabilities and their impending effects, evaluating current public health controls in place, identifying effective solutions and remedial measures, and recommending a methodology for optimal resource allocation. The TripleRM Global Health Management Model (GHMM) incorporates remedial measures, strategic initiatives designed to integrate adaptability and resiliency, implement policy changes and update emergency response protocols.
