The targeted amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) aim at improving countries\u2019 ability to prepare for and respond to Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC) and Pandemic Emergencies (PE). They include provisions for facilitating equitable access to relevant health products during PHEIC and PE, as well as mobilizing financial resources to support developing countries in building, strengthening, and maintaining the core capacities required under the IHR (2005).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Picture_x0020_2\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image002V4EU.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shri Apurva Chandra, Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare expressed his excitement by stating that \u201cwith the revision of the International Health Regulations, an incredible milestone has been reached.\u201d He also said that \u201cthis is a further step towards equity and the creation of an umbrella of solidarity that will help protect the world from future pandemic threats.

The processes witnessed a number of close calls with seeming deadlocks over positions taken by the various stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to finalize the package of amendments to IHR, a proposal was put forward in the form of a White Paper by Shri Apurva Chandra as Chair of Committee A of the World Health Assembly on 28th May, 2024. It proposed to establish a single drafting group, to be co-chaired by one Bureau member from the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) and the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (WGIHR) respectively, to consider the matters related to some of the most critical agenda items &#8211; the proposed amendments to the IHR (2005), followed by consideration of procedural matters on way forward related to INB negotiations on the Pandemic treaty. The said proposal was approved by all member states by consensus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Picture_x0020_4\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image004A7LM.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The single drafting group thus established, along with WHO secretariat and member State representatives, through sheer hard work and determination completed the work of bringing consensus in the ongoing IHR amendments during the 77<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0assembly session period.
