The framework of the newly revised International Health Regulations is a key driver in the effort to strengthen global public health security. Unanimously agreed upon by the World Health Assembly on May 23, 2005, the regulations are the result of experience gained and lessons learned during the past 30 years. This global legal framework includes a commitment from the World Health Organization (WHO) and from each WHO member state to improve capacity for disease prevention, detection, and response. It provides standards for addressing national public health threats that have the potential to become global emergencies. Its success will rely on the capacity and performance of national public health systems, anchored by strong national public health institutes (NPHIs). The new International Association of National Public Health Institutes aims to strengthen and invigorate existing NPHIs, to create new NPHIs where none exist, and to provide funded grants to support NPHI development priorities.
新修订的《国际卫生条例》框架是加强全球公共卫生安全努力的关键驱动力。该条例于2005年5月23日由世界卫生大会一致通过，是过去30年积累的经验和吸取的教训的成果。这一全球法律框架包括世界卫生组织（世卫组织）及各世卫组织成员国作出的加强疾病预防、检测和应对能力的承诺。它为应对有可能演变为全球紧急情况的国家公共卫生威胁提供了标准。其成功将依赖于以强大的国家公共卫生机构（NPHIs）为基础的国家公共卫生系统的能力和表现。新成立的国家公共卫生机构国际协会旨在加强并振兴现有国家公共卫生机构，在尚无此类机构的地方创建新的国家公共卫生机构，并提供资助赠款以支持国家公共卫生机构的发展重点。
