International Coordination Annex

International Coordination Annex Describes activities taken in coordination with international partners for public health messaging, monitoring, and responding to an Incident of National Significance that may transcend U.S. borders. The U.S. Department of State is the coordinating agency for this annex. 

The WHO was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). Its purpose is to serve as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of the main functions of the WHO is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a task that it partly fulfills through WHO publications [35]. The first WHO draft text on GMP was prepared in 1967 and a revised version was published in 1968 as an annex of the twenty-second report of the WHO expert committee on specifications for pharmaceutical preparations. Over the years the WHO has issued several versions of its GMP guidelines as well as other guidelines related to the GMP and quality issues of the production of therapeutic products. The latest version of the WHO GMP guideline was published in 2003 as an annex of the WHO Technical Report 908 [36].
