Dated control of external links

The October 6, 2026 check distinguishes confirmed access, HTTP restrictions, delays and certificate errors. Unconfirmed access does not prove the disappearance of the site. Confirmed access does not validate the recommendations or the freshness of the data.

Verification period

All rows were checked for mandatory fields, category codes, name duplicates and d-URL formats. An HTTP availability check is distinct from a medical validation or a comprehensive review of the content of an external site.

The two WHO fact sheets from the same country have different roles: statistical profile and programme page. The geographical areas of the filter include Asia and Oceania; the Middle East includes Western Asia according to M49 and Iran. This editorial grouping is not that of the WHO regional offices.

Limits of interpretation

  • These directories are neither patient data, outbreak figures nor an estimate of individual risk.
  • Languages describe available content, without guaranteeing the translation of each document.
  • External sources may change. Their date, methodology and re-use conditions must be verified.
  • A family of agents or route of exposure is a documentary marker, not an indication of diagnosis or treatment.
