Study Notes

International Health Regulations (IHR)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is granted legal authority to undertake various actions related to epidemics according to the IHR.

Member State Requirements

There is no requirement for member state countries to report all disease outbreaks to WHO under IHR.

Detection of Influenza Infections

A key limitation of detection is that influenza infections can be difficult to diagnose, especially in the early stages.

Role of IHR in Public Health

IHR plays a crucial role in public health by providing a framework for countries to respond to and manage public health risks and emergencies.

WHO's Authority

Despite some limitations, IHR enables WHO to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), which allows for international coordination and response to public health crises.
