Key Points

To examine approaches for transitioning from immediate disaster relief toward long-term health system resilience following major flood disasters.
Synthesized public health recovery frameworks and post-disaster healthcare interventions in flood-impacted regions.
Assessed health infrastructure vulnerabilities, service disruptions, and community-level disease prevention mechanisms.
Immediate disaster management predominantly emphasizes emergency rescue operations, leaving local health infrastructure vulnerable to secondary public health crises.
Sustainable recovery requires embedding climate-resilient engineering into clinics, reinforcing medical supply chains, and strengthening disease surveillance systems.
