The Secretary of State has not met with the Association of Port Health Authorities. The UK assists the WHO to implement and monitor the International Health Regulations (2005) that include the standards required for port health authorities internationally. The UK will always consider the most appropriate subject matter experts for interventions overseas that improve global health security.
