Ref.: C.L.1.2023
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States and regional economic integration organizations, and has the honour to refer to
decision WHA75(9) 2022, which revised the name of the Working Group on Strengthening
WHO Preparedness and Response to Health Emergencies to the Working Group on
Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (WGIHR) and revised the mandate
to work exclusively on the consideration of proposed targeted amendments to the IHR (2005),
consistent with decision EB150(3) (2022), for consideration by the Seventy-seventh World
Health Assembly in 2024.
Member States are informed that the second meeting of the WGIHR will be held on
20–24 February 2023 in a hybrid format and will open at 10:00 (CET) on Monday,
20 February 2023.
Two persons per delegation can be physically present in the meeting room at WHO
headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, with other members of the delegation participating through
the virtual platform.
To participate in person, INDICO registration will be required using the following link:
https://indico.un.org/e/WGIHR2. Online registration can be initiated from Monday, 6 February
and no later than Friday, 17 February 2023.
To participate virtually, renewed online registration will not be required for the second
meeting for Member States who have previously registered delegates for the first meeting of the
WGIHR (14–15 November 2022). In that regard, WHO will view Member States’ credentials
submitted during the registration process for the first meeting as remaining valid for the purposes
of registration for the second meeting, unless informed otherwise by email to
[email protected] no later than Monday, 13 February 2023. Member States who did not
register for the first meeting or who wish to revise their list of delegates may send an email with
an indication of the Member State, the full name and email address of the delegate(s) that should
be added or removed to
[email protected] no later than Monday, 13 February 2023.
Following registration, a personalized link to access the virtual platform will be sent to all
delegates in the days preceding the meeting. Registrations sent after the deadline may cause a
delay in the receipt of a link to participate in the meeting.
The documentation for the meeting will be published at the following link:
https://apps.who.int/gb/wgihr/ as soon as available in the six official languages.
The Director-General of the World Health Organization takes this opportunity to renew to
Member States and regional economic integration organizations the assurance of his highest
consideration.
