A Commentary on the International Health Regulations (2005)：A New Charter for Global Health Matters pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024

　　The International Health Regulations 2005 entered into force in 2007. The Regulations are one of the most important instruments in the history of public health administration. They create new mechanisms to enhance individual and cooperative efforts of countries to deal with infectious diseases. The book explains the theoretical and practical background of the new Regulations and discusses the disease control regime under the Regulations. Policy makers of health matters, public health workers and researchers (including scholars and students) in the fields of public health as well as international health law or political science would benefit from this book.

　　WHO在2005年通过新的「国际卫生条例」（IHR），并在2007年生效。该条例系国际公共卫生历史上最重要的规范。该条例创设新的机制，以强化个别国家处理属于「国际关切的公共卫生紧急事件」的传染病的义务与能力，也强化国际合作，以共同处理与控制此种传染病的扩散。本书解释新的国际卫生条例的理论与实务背景，并完整讨论该条例之下的疾病控制机制。卫生事务的决策者、公共卫生从业人员、公卫领域及国际卫生法与政治学领域的研究者及学生，应均可由阅读此书而获益。
