Towards resilience: investigating resources for enhancing climate resilience in health care facilities in low and middle-income countries. a scoping review.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClimate change is increasingly impacting healthcare facilities worldwide, with those in low and middle-income countries generally facing high risks due to higher vulnerability and lower adaptive capacity. This scoping review examines resources to strengthen the climate resilience of healthcare facilities in low and middle-income countries.
methodsWe used Arksey & O’Malley (2005) and Levac et al. (2010) scoping review methodology to systematically search four academic databases (Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, and Lilac), as well as Google Scholar, and the grey literature (websites from the World Health Organization, Green Climate Fund, Global Adaptation Mapping Initiative, Health Care Without Harm, and the Global Environmental Facility) between 2015 and 2024. A coding framework guided the data extraction, which was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively (Braun and Clarke Thematic analysis).
resultsWe identified 33 resources for building the climate resilience of healthcare facilities in low and middle-income countries. The resources varied in their intended audience, composition, and purpose. They produced various outputs (i.e., guidelines, checklists, or adaptation plans) that are presented in a typology to allow users to select the best resource or tool for their purposes. Our analysis identified 14 domains for building climate-resilient healthcare facilities in low and middle-income countries. We present a range of indicators under each domain for measuring the climate resilience of healthcare facilities to enable monitoring and evaluation of climate resilience-building efforts.
conclusionThere are a growing number of diverse resources that can be used to build climate resilience at the healthcare facilities level in low and middle-income countries. This scoping review offers a comprehensive typology of 33 resources that vary in their focus and application, enabling stakeholders to identify and apply the most appropriate tools for their specific contexts. The 14 key domains identified by this review and associated indicators provide a structured framework for assessing and enhancing climate resilience efforts within healthcare facilities. By offering a range of action-oriented resources and measurable indicators, this review supports ongoing efforts to safeguard healthcare services in low and middle-income countries against the growing impacts of climate change, contributing to the global discourse on sustainable, climate-resilient health systems.
