The IHR have long been a cornerstone of global health governance, providing a legal and operational framework for international cooperation in detecting, assessing, and responding to public health emergencies.

From outbreaks to pandemics, the IHR have guided our response & safeguarded populations. The amendments directly address health security challenges by strengthening early detection, improving information exchange, enhancing equity, and reinforcing national & regional preparedness

.@WHOEMRO is holding a subregional workshop on International Health Regulation (2005) Amendments for three days. Health experts will have in-depth discussions on the IHR amendments and their impact on national implementation 🧵
