The Regulations reinforce WHO s central role in managing public health events of potential international concern and require that the organization maintains the public health emergency systems, networks, partnerships and tools to rapidly identify, verify and assess public health risks of potential international concern.
In the WHO African region countries, over 85% of acute PHEs are infectious disease outbreaks. On average about 100 PHEs are reported each year. These outbreaks contribute significantly to increased morbidity and mortality thus stressing the already scanty resources in the region.
