In Vietnam, rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and more frequent extreme weather events are already exacerbating the spread of infectious diseases. For public health authorities, this means grappling with shifting patterns of risk and a growing need to move from reactive crisis response to proactive prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most promising innovations to emerge in this context is the E-Dengue Project\u2014a pioneering digital early warning system designed to forecast dengue outbreaks. At the core of this initiative is the strategic leadership and technical expertise of the Griffith University\u2019s Centre for Environment and Population Health (CEPH), whose contributions are helping shape a new model for climate-responsive health systems in Vietnam. The project demonstrates how technology, science, and local engagement can combine to create climate-responsive health systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climate change and health in Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vietnam is widely regarded as one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. Its geography\u2014stretching across tropical latitudes with a long, low-lying coastline\u2014makes it especially susceptible to rising sea levels, storms, and floods. But alongside these visible threats, climate change is also driving invisible health burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warmer temperatures and more intense rainfall create favourable conditions for mosquitoes, accelerating the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya. Recent research highlights the scale of the challenge: a one-degree Celsius rise in temperature can increase child hospitalisations by up to 4.6 percent, while dengue incidence may rise by 7 to 11 percent. Among older adults, cardiovascular-related hospital admissions can increase by as much as 13 percent. Heat-related illnesses, including strokes, are also projected to surge in frequency and severity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With global climate models forecasting record temperatures between 2025 and 2030\u2014potentially more than 2.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels\u2014the pressure on Vietnam\u2019s health systems is only set to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The E-Dengue project: Predicting outbreaks before they happen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Against this backdrop, the E-Dengue Project stands out as a bold step forward. By integrating climate, environmental, and epidemiological data, the system can predict dengue outbreaks at the district level up to three months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool, which is available on both web and mobile platforms, provides health workers with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Real-time risk maps<\/strong> to visualise areas of highest vulnerability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Targeted alerts<\/strong> to guide local preparedness and response.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevention guidance<\/strong> tailored to local conditions and needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This shift\u2014from reacting to outbreaks to anticipating and preventing them\u2014represents a major transformation in public health strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CEPH\u2019s leadership and collaborative approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the E-Dengue Project is the leadership of Griffith University\u2019s Centre for Environment and Population Health (CEPH), which has been advancing research on climate, health, and sustainability in Asia for over two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the guidance of Professor Cordia Chu, CEPH applied a Comprehensive Needs Assessment Framework to ensure that the E-Dengue system was co-produced with Vietnamese stakeholders. This approach ensured that the tool was not only scientifically robust, but also culturally relevant, user-friendly, and aligned with the practical realities of local health systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTechnology alone is never enough,\u201d Prof Chu explains. \u201cFor an innovation to succeed, it must be trusted, usable, and embedded into the day-to-day operations of the health sector. That requires partnership, co-produce, and local ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This philosophy has guided CEPH\u2019s efforts to integrate the system into existing surveillance and control programs across the Mekong Delta. By embedding E-Dengue into routine operations, CEPH has supported long-term sustainability and capacity building within Vietnam\u2019s health sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From research to real-world impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most striking aspects of the E-Dengue Project is its real-world impact. Local health officials report that the tool has helped them act more quickly and effectively, reducing the time between identifying risk and mobilising community-level prevention campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For frontline health workers, access to reliable forecasts and risk maps has been described as a \u201cgame changer,\u201d enabling them to target interventions such as vector control, community education, and resource allocation before outbreaks spiral out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project has also strengthened collaboration across government, academia, and international partners\u2014building the foundations for a more resilient and adaptive health system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond Dengue: A model for climate-responsive health systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the immediate focus of the project is dengue fever, the broader vision is much more ambitious. The E-Dengue framework can be adapted to monitor and forecast other climate-sensitive diseases, from influenza strains to hand, foot and mouth disease. Its principles\u2014data integration, digital innovation, and co-production with local stakeholders\u2014offer a blueprint for climate-health adaptation globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVietnam\u2019s experience shows that climate change is not only a threat but also a catalyst for innovation,\u201d Prof Chu notes. \u201cBy combining science, technology, and strong partnerships, we can build health systems that are proactive, resilient, and equitable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A vision for global health security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For CEPH, the E-Dengue Project is part of a broader commitment to advancing Global Health Security through One Health and Planetary Health frameworks. By addressing the interconnected drivers of disease\u2014including environmental changes, population dynamics, and social vulnerability\u2014CEPH\u2019s work aims to ensure that health systems are better prepared for the challenges of a rapidly warming world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of the E-Dengue Project in Vietnam highlights the importance of international collaboration in tackling the health impacts of climate change. It also underscores the role of academic institutions like Griffith University in bridging research and practice, ensuring that scientific knowledge translates into real benefits for communities on the frontline of climate vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a time when the climate crisis is reshaping health risks across the globe, Vietnam\u2019s E-Dengue Project offers more than a local solution. It is a model of how innovation, partnership, and foresight can help societies adapt\u2014and protect the most vulnerable\u2014before crises strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"author label\">AUTHORS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Professor Cordia Chu AM,&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Directorand&nbsp;<strong>Dr Tuan Pham<\/strong>, Research and Engagement Fellow of the Centre for Environment and Population Health, are members of the&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.griffith.edu.au\/asia-institute\"><em>Griffith Asia Institute<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CORDIA CHU&nbsp;AND&nbsp;TUAN PHAM&nbsp; |&nbsp; As the impacts of climate change intensify across Southeast Asia, the health consequences are becoming increasingly urgent and complex.
