Search by country, organization or subject. Filters combine and also work without JavaScript. WHO statistical profiles and national pages are classified by territory; their roles remain distinct.
Research ignores accents and combines words. It covers name, country, type of organization, description, languages and themes. Understand the database and its limits.

For the same source, the depth of content may vary according to language. The following pages provide access to the official editions of WHO; the directory also covers the national languages proposed by local agencies.
03Country profiles
For many countries, the directory offers a statistical profile on WHO Data and an institutional page on the WHO website. These two entries meet different needs; they do not replace the instructions of the national health authority.
To compare indicators, identify the year of each series, its definition and its limits. The indicators on the same page do not necessarily cover the same period.
See the profile of FranceFor information on the organization's programmes, publications or activities in a territory. A news published here is not necessarily a local record.
See the WHO France pageFor current recommendations, alerts and applicable procedures, give priority to the competent public source of the territory concerned.
Find the official newsletters →04Use the directory well
Global information gives context; a national authority specifies the applicable guidelines; a local agency knows the situation on the ground. For an alert, start from the nearest source to the location, then compare it with the regional and global watch.
Check out the disease sheets, manuals and summaries. They explain the stable notions but do not necessarily describe an ongoing situation.
Use dated bulletins, dashboards and streams. Look at the data period, the case definition and possible delays in notification.
Follow the competent authority of your territory or sector. An international recommendation does not replace a local regulatory directive.
Start with the method, agent and time of sampling. A laboratory sheet and a clinical recommendation do not have the same function.
Read the tests →The reference and the lot are included in the national reminder form. European systems help to track notifications between countries.
Check a reminder →Look at the territory, period, population covered, denominator, and time frame for consolidation before comparing.
Read an indicator →A signal in water, air or soil calls for verification of the method and uses of the environment; local delivery remains a priority.
Understand a signal →The directory focuses on public authorities, intergovernmental organizations, national institutes, monitoring networks and scientific libraries. Some academic tools are included when they provide additional monitoring; their form explicitly identifies them and their signals must be confirmed by an authority. Resources are retained for their documentary usefulness, not as a ranking or as a general approval of all their content.
Current name, responsible agency and perimeter were compared to institutional pages, notably for the Australian CDC, Japanese JIHS, HERA and European laboratories.
An HTTP control follows the redirects. A robot blockage, network error, or an exceeded delay remains an indeterminate result; it is not presented as a deleted link or as a validation of content.
Developments 2025–26 have been integrated, including the amended IHR, the WHO Pandemic Agreement, PABS negotiation, BMBL and environmental monitoring.
FAQUse
Start with the national or local authority of the territory concerned and then use regional and international organizations to put the event in context. Always check the date, area covered and status of the publication.
The language corresponds to an interface or significant content offered by the external resource. It does not mean that each page, report or dataset is available in that language.
No. Inclusion indicates a documentary utility and an identifiable perimeter. It does not constitute a classification, affiliation or general approval of all content published by the organization.
No. The links are subject to editorial verifications dated. An external resource may change address, name or perimeter between two controls; check the methodology and report any useful corrections.
The WHO data profile brings together statistical indicators with their reference years. Instead, the WHO country page presents the organization's office, programmes and news for the country. For a current health statement, consult the competent national or local authority.
In practiceObserve and understand
A health event and a national indicator require different sources. Disease Outbreak News bulletins describe confirmed or potential acute events; WHO Data profiles collect indicators by country.
| Resource | Information to look for | Check before reuse |
|---|---|---|
| Disease Outbreak News | The event, area, assessment and response described in the bulletin. | Find later publications on the same event. |
| WHO Data — country profiles | Value, reference year and definition of each indicator. | Read the metadata; indicators in one profile may refer to different years. |
An event’s absence from this bulletin selection does not establish the absence of risk. For a local measure applicable today, consult the relevant territorial authority.
