The applicability of the IHR

Reference no: EM132379225

A mysterious new hemorrhagic fever has begun to appear at tropical resorts around the world. It is fatal to approximately 40% of those who contract the disease. This has resulted in a significant decrease in tourist travel and some embargos on fruits and vegetables.

A pharmaceutical company called BigPharma Industries (BI) has discovered that one of its orphan drugs, TropicX, is effective as both a vaccine and as treatment. Unfortunately, BI can only produce enough TropicX for 20% of the affected population.

To complicate matters, social media has begun carrying stories that TropicX is part of a plot to reassert colonialism around the globe.
