Abstract

Introduction: Health Information Systems (HIS) play a vital role in enhancing healthcare delivery and decision-making processes. Effective implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination program is essential to control the pandemic globally. However, data from the Ministry of Health of Timor Leste reveals suboptimal vaccination coverage in Municipio Ermera, with only 78.9% receiving the first dose, 66.2% the second, and just 18.7% the third dose. These figures indicate a need for more efficient data management and health service delivery. Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Health Information System in supporting COVID-19 vaccination efforts at the Glenu Ermera Health Center in 2023. Method: Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 59 healthcare workers. Analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test in SPSS version 21. Result and Discussion: Results showed that only 5.1% of respondents rated the HIS as effective, while 74.6% deemed it less effective. The chi-square analysis yielded a p-value of 0.013 (<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between HIS effectiveness and vaccination outcomes. Conclusion: In conclusion, enhancing HIS effectiveness at the Gleno Ermera Health Center requires comprehensive facility improvements, better regulations, and the development of skilled human resources.

Abstract

Introduction: Climate change exerts a significant impact on human life and health globally. As a preeminent global health issue of the 21st century, climate change alters ecosystems, environmental conditions, and disease transmission patterns. These impacts represent a profound challenge to global public health infrastructure. Objective: This study aims to systematically review the relationship between climate change and environmentally mediated diseases. Method: This research employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, adhering to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Data were retrieved from six scientific databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Semantic Scholar. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that climate variability including extreme temperatures, high humidity, flooding, drought, and air pollution plays a pivotal role in elevating the risk of various environmentally mediated diseases. The most frequently reported conditions include diarrhea, dengue fever, respiratory tract infections, scabies, cholera, and leptospirosis. Conclusion: Integrated climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies are essential. These must be coupled with the strengthening of public health systems, improved sanitation, and the development of community-based disaster preparedness to protect high-risk groups from the health-related consequences of climate change.
