Strong international health agreements and good planning created a structure and common procedure for nations involved in detection and evaluation of the emergence of influenza A (H1N1).
This report describes a timeline of events that led to the determination of the epidemic as a public health emergency of international concern, following the agreed upon procedures of the International Health Regulations.
These events illustrate the need for sound international health agreements and should be a call to action for all nations to implement these agreements to the best of their abilities.
