What are the Changes brought about in the field of infectious diseases after the formation of WHO
Answers
Today, worldwide, there is an apparent increase in many infectious diseases, including some newly-circulating ones (HIV/AIDS, hantavirus, hepatitis C, SARS, etc.). This reflects the combined impacts of rapid demographic, environmental, social, technological and other changes in our ways-of-living. Climate change will also affect infectious disease occurrence (1).
Humans have known that climatic conditions affect epidemic diseases from long before the role of infectious agents was discovered, late in the nineteenth century. Roman aristocrats retreated to hill resorts each summer to avoid malaria. South Asians learnt early that, in high summer, strongly curried foods were less likely to cause diarrhoea.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is an international public health agency of the United Nations. The WHO Constitution, that sets out the structure and principles governing the agency, sets out its primary objective to achieve the highest possible standard of health for all people.
Explanation:
- States Parties to the "International Health Regulation (2005)" have the obligation to evaluate & inform WHO of any events within its territory which may constitute an "international public health emergency".
- In situations when physical contact or other "forms of human behavior", leads to transmission of a disease or infection, which are private & hard to control, govt priority should be to create a legal environment which fosters those behavior which prevent further transmission.
- WHO has prescribed and stipulated several laws, and regulations for nations across the world for minimising the transmission of infectious diseases. The proper exercise of legal authority will differ depending on the gravity of the disease, how quickly it is transmitted and the transmission means.
