What institution is in charge of IHR application in Germany?

Hi!, I would like to know what is the institution responsible for IHR implementation and application in Germany?, and also, do anybody knows if there's a maritime-only agency in charge of that subject (like ANVISA in Brazil)

 

Danke!

New Challenge

Good day everyone,

Some of you will know this already but after over 17 years with Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority, Felixstowe, UK, I will be leaving to take up a new Port Health challenge with the Government of Bermuda. As yet I do not know my new contact details but I still hope to have regular involvement with PAGNet and the many friends and colleagues I have within the Port Health Community.

Today is my last day in the Felixstowe office so if you send any emails to my scpha address, please note that these will no longer reach me.

Best Wishes,
