The International Health Regulations Strengthening Project is a UK Aid funded technical assistance project contributing to international efforts to improve global health security through increased compliance with the WHO International Health Regulations (2005).
Taking a One Health and an all hazards approach, the IHR Project works in partnership with National Public Health Institutes, ministries of health and regional organisations to support public health system strengthening to reduce the impact of public health emergencies and improve national, regional and ultimately global health security.
This dedicated knowledge hub shares news and learning from the project working with public health partners to build strong national public health systems better equipped to prevent, prepare for, detect, and respond to a wide range of global health threats.
