The #REACH #research project participated in the International System Dynamics Conference ( #ISDC 2026), showcasing ongoing research on how floods and heatwaves affect the #operational capacity of maternal and child health (MCH) services and access to care in Brazil.

The REACH Project Team at #COP30! 🌍 We had the privilege of presenting our COP30 report to Her Excellency, Márcia Helena Carvalho Lopes, Minister of Women in Brazil. We explored shared priorities on #climate change and #health, and we’re excited for future engagement to strengthen MCH resilience.

What if we could open the black box of pay-for-performance? Our new study on Tanzania’s maternal health program uses agent-based modeling to explain the behavior and system mechanisms behind improved facility births—and how better payment timing could unlock more gains. www.jasss.org/28/4/7.html

Our longer-term goal is to develop a robust hybrid model that leverages the strengths of different modelling approaches (system dynamics and agent-based) to capture both demand and supply of maternal and child health services during floods and heatwaves.

The model is built around state charts #tracking women through #pregnancy (antenatal clinic visits and deliveries) and #vaccination of infants. #Next steps include #tailoring the model to #Zambia and #Brazil using #real data and #stakeholder input.

We’re pleased to share that our paper, “Regional variations in the impacts of #high #temperature on #hospital #admissions in #Brazil,” has been published in #Environment #International. Read the full article here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Annual high-temperature-related hospitalisations to reach 51-59 per 100,000 by 2050s — a 54%-78% increase from 2010s
Corresponding economic costs could surpass $200 million by 2050s
