About this dataset:

We're currently migrating this dataset. To explore these data, visit our Legacy Site.

The IHR(2005) is a binding instrument of international law aimed at preventing, protecting, controlling, and responding to the international spread of disease. To control the international spread of communicable disease, the IHR(2005) emphasizes the need for states to build surveillance and alert capacities. 

This dataset presents national laws organizing surveillance of communicable diseases in humans, as well as the mechanisms that support a communication system used to alert WHO and other countries in the event of an outbreak. This dataset also covers the legal requirements for epidemiological surveillance and vector controls at airports and other ports of entry (PoE).

This is a cross-sectional dataset displaying laws in effect across four countries (Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Serbia, and Switzerland) as of February 1, 2019.
