1969 CE
1969 International Health Regulations
Epidemics & public health · Regulación sanitaria · Surveillance · Cooperación sanitaria
The World Health Assembly adopted the International Health Regulations in 1969, replacing and renaming the 1951 sanitary regulations. They initially covered six diseases and were later reduced to cholera, plague, and yellow fever; their narrow scope and dependence on state notifications help explain why they were revised in later decades.
