Excerpt
SUMMARY A Consultation on Revision of the International Health Regulations (IHR) in the Western Pacific Region was conducted in Manila, Philippines, from 28 to 30 April 2004. The meeting was convened by the World Health Organization Western Pacific Regional Office. The objectives of the meeting were: (1) to increase awareness of the proposed revision of the IHR and associated documents in all Member States and areas of the Western Pacific Region and among collaborating agencies and partners; (2) to provide an opportunity for Member States and areas of the Western Pacific Region and collaborating agencies and partners to review the draft IHR and associated documents in order to provide input to the revision process; and (3) to develop a shared understanding of the core requirements for public health surveillance and response by Member States and areas to support the IHR and resulting capacity-building needs. The meeting was attended by 62 participants from 32 countries and areas, and a further four observers from the Region. There were two WHO consultants and 17 WHO staff members serving as the secretariat.
