The State Party communicates in writing to the Organization (HQ, WHO Regional and Country offices) its designation and any changes regarding the designated National IHR Focal Point. NFPs need to be contactable by direct telephone or fax and ideally via a generic institutional e-mail address, preferably one indicating its affiliation with the IHR NFP (e.g. To the WHO Secretariat as required by the Regulations.

To ensure accessibility on a 24 hour and 7 day basis, NFPs must continuously update and confirm their contact details The mandatory functions of NFPs require their availability at all times for urgent communications with WHO regional IHR Contact Points. To fulfill these functions, NFPs need to establish links and coordination mechanisms with existing national health emergency committees and mechanisms, That messages and advice from WHO are disseminated to the relevant sectors of the State Party. Under IHR Article 4, NFPs are responsible for notifying WHO of relevant health events on behalf of the State Party concerned, responding to WHO Secretariat’s requests for event-related information, and ensuring While the exact role and organization of the NFP are left to each State Party to decide based on their specific national context, some functions and operational requirements for efficient communications derive directly from the Regulations and are Annex 2 of the International Health Regulations (2005).It is anticipated that this guidance will be revised based on the findings of a global study on NFPs’ experiences and needs. To this end, IHR Secretariat has produced the NFP guide intended to assist Member States in understanding and clarifying how they can meet their relevant obligations under the IHR (2005). At the same time, a level of global standardization is required for the global network of NFPs to operate effectively. Given the differences in these structures and roles, some variation in practice is inevitable regarding the implementation of related obligations under the IHR. States Parties may have varying perspectives concerning the specific roles for their NFPs and the appropriate positioning of the NFP within the national governmental structure. Under the IHR, each State Party is required to designate or establish a NFP, a national office or center (not individual person) that is accessible at all times for IHR-related communications with WHO and relevant sectors within the country. As the designated point of contact between WHO and States Parties it is essential that NFPs are provided with the necessary authority, capacity, training and resources to effectively carry out their functions required of them by the IHR. A functioning NFP network is therefore key to the successful implementation of the IHR by WHO and the 196 States Parties that have agreed to be bound by them.
