(WHO) is an international public health agency within the United Nations and a global authority on disease outbreaks, epidemiology, and health. Its website (www.who.int) provides news and is a reliable source for the latest data on global health and disease. The Global Alert and Response (GAR) program is particularly relevant for infectious diseases (www.who.int/csr/en). Disease-specific data and information can be found in the Diseases section, located in the left menu. GAR also runs the Disease Outbreak News page (www.who.int/csr/don/en). These updates from around the globe include specific cases, public health response, risk assessment, and advice; updates may be sorted by year, disease, or country. The WHO website offers a wealth of information, but it can be somewhat difficult to navigate. Fortunately, current outbreaks are often linked directly from the home page, making navigation to outbreak information easier.
