He noted that since the implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) in 2007, Lesotho has maintained a dedicated coordinating office within the Ministry of Health to ensure compliance and effective coordination of public health emergencies.<\/p>\n

The Minister further underlined the adoption of all editions of the Integrated Diseases Surveillance and Response (IDSR) guidelines, which have been accompanied by extensive training across all levels, including communities, to strengthen early detection and response systems.<\/p>\n

He added that the successful completion of the State Party Annual Reports (SPAR) has fostered multi-sectoral engagement and accountability, a crucial step in ensuring transparency and collective responsibility in national health security.<\/p>\n
