Evaluating the current status of disaster-preparedness in a subset of Sri Lankan hospitals using a novel tool (pilot, validation, and implementation)
The absence of a standardised tool for the Sri Lankan context has hampered local hospitals’ disaster preparedness. This research team newly developed an all-hazards tool comprising 142 indicators across 15 themes, with local expert consensus ensuring face and content validity. Present study aimed to further test its validity, reliability, and feasibility and to assess the preparedness of selected hospitals using this tool. This cross-sectional pi…
Lessons learned from the Covid-19 response in Sri Lankan hospitals
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the lack of preparedness in health systems, even in developed countries.

Also, the model endorsed the implementation of mitigation measures to strengthen existing health facilities. So far, there is no widely accepted and validated toolkit for conducting hospital disaster preparednes…
