Meteorological services in the African public health climate change framework African ministers of health and environment Joint Statement on Climate Change and Health. Essential Public Health Package to enhance climate change resilience in developing countries. Africa moving towards an integrated environment and health surveillance system to predict and prevent public health impacts of climate change. Meteorological services and data are a central component in: – the integrated environment and health surveillance system; –Current health vulnerability assessments –Development of early warning and response systems Meteorological forecast for early warning systems is a MUST in Preparedeness, Readiness and Response.
