International Health Law

International Health Law encompasses rules and agreements between countries aimed at preventing, controlling, and managing health issues that cross borders, such as pandemics, infectious diseases, and environmental hazards. It establishes legal responsibilities for nations to share information, cooperate on health responses, and ensure the safety of travelers and populations. These laws help coordinate global efforts to protect public health, guide responses to health emergencies, and promote equitable access to medicines and healthcare resources, ultimately fostering a safer, healthier world through international collaboration.
