T1 0-7 Epistemic_statement denotes Comment
T2 20-395 Epistemic_statement denotes The revised International Health Regulations (IHR) 1 entered into force on June 15, 2007, obligating (now) 196 States Parties to detect, assess, report, and respond to potential public health emergencies of international concern (PHEIC) at all levels of government, and to report such events rapidly to the WHO to determine whether a coordinated, global response is required.
T3 396-785 Epistemic_statement denotes In the 8 years since its entry into force, there have been three declared PHEIC, including pandemic infl uenza H1N1 in 2009, re-emerging wild-type poliovirus in April, 2014, Ebola virus disease in west Africa in August, 2014, and the emergence of new diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and infl uenza H7N9, with still uncertain risks to global population health.
T4 1020-1491 Epistemic_statement denotes Other international fora have also recognised the importance of the IHR as a global framework, and have focused discussions among nations on IHR-related core capacities in meetings of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, the Global Health Security Initiative, the North American Plan for Pandemic and Avian Infl uenza, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540, in addition to debate at the World Health Assembly.
T5 1865-2111 Epistemic_statement denotes Foundations have become increasingly engaged in global health security, becoming primary funders for capacity building around the world, and the World Bank is playing an increasingly more prominent role in global health preparedness and response.
T6 2112-2302 Epistemic_statement denotes Yet by 2012, only 42 nations (21%) reported that they had fully implemented the IHR and built appropriate core capacities to detect, assess, report, and respond to public health emergencies.
T7 2545-2735 Epistemic_statement denotes 2 National compliance statistics are themselves an indicator of the challenges associated with IHR implement ation, particularly the paucity of mandated funding to support capacity building.
T8 3229-3443 Epistemic_statement denotes It is time to consider whether or not aspects of the foundation for global health security embodied in the IHR (2005) are too vague, missing, or need to be strengthened in order for IHR to stay relevant and useful.
T9 3444-4284 Epistemic_statement denotes With the 10-year anniversary of the IHR's entry into force on June 15, 2017, a full and formal IHR review conference could address the following issues (among others): • Metrics: assessing national capacity, including objective independent assessments of compliance • Sample sharing: linking IHR and the Pandemic Infl uenza Preparedness Framework, with approaches for sample sharing beyond infl uenza • International contact tracing: improved systems for identifying and coordinating public health measures for high-risk travellers • Response: responsibilities for coordination in a multinational emergency response • Capacity building: funded structures within WHO and the regional offi ces to assist nations with building required capacities • Zoonotic disease: application of IHR to animal diseases and development of one health systems.
T10 4509-4756 Epistemic_statement denotes 2, 3 We argue that, although this is a necessary step, it is now time to open the debate to all Member States of the World Health Assembly, so that all nations, with varying experiences, can provide input into how the regulations are strengthened.
T11 4757-4927 Epistemic_statement denotes States Parties should take the opportunity at the May, 2015, World Health Assembly to begin to discuss the need for a review conference to consider amendments to the IHR.
T12 4928-5165 Epistemic_statement denotes Stakeholder meetings and regional consultations in 2015 and 2016, with formal discussion at the WHO Executive Board meeting in 2016, could lead to formal resolutions at the 2016 World Health Assembly calling for a 2017 review conference.
T13 5166-5312 Epistemic_statement denotes This process would be consistent with Articles 2(k), 21(a), and 22 of the WHO Constitution, and previous iterations of the regulations as amended.
T14 5313-5499 Epistemic_statement denotes 4 A formal review conference in the spring of 2017 would produce amendments that could be adopted at the 2017 World Health Assembly-on the 10th anniversary of the IHR's entry into force.
