International Health Regulation

The International Health Regulations (IHR) are a set of rules established by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help countries prevent and respond to public health emergencies that can cross borders, like disease outbreaks. They aim to improve global health security by ensuring that nations promptly share information about health threats and implement effective measures to control them. The IHR encourages countries to strengthen their own health systems, allowing for coordinated actions during crises to protect global health and minimize the spread of diseases.
