Abstract The Revised International Health Regulations (IHR), established by the World Health Organization (WHO), are a critical component in global health governance, designed to enhance the capacity of countries to prevent, detect, and respond to public health risks that have international implications. The 2005 revision of the IHR introduced significant changes to public health preparedness and response frameworks, especially concerning the management of disease outbreaks, emergency preparedness, and international coordination. This comprehensive review provides a domestic understanding of the Revised IHR, exploring the regulatory framework, implementation at the national level, and the key challenges and successes in meeting IHR requirements. It highlights the roles of national capacity building, and transparency in health data reporting .These regulations are crucial in the fight against public health threats that can cross borders, such as pandemics, bioterrorism, and environmental hazards. This review examines the domestic understanding of the Revised IHR, emphasizing their application, challenges in implementation, and their impact on public health systems within countries.
