The main objectives of the workshop were to:
- introduce the updated WHO guidelines related to the IHR core capacities at designated point of entry;
- review Member States' experiences and lessons learnt in establishing and strengthening institutional systems for the IHR core capacities at designated points of entry; and
- develop adequate skills by demonstrating the practical application of the guidelines through a site visit during the workshop.
The objective of these events was to train national port health experts on ship inspection and issuance of ship sanitation certificates, under the International Health Regulations framework, using a WHO Learning Programme. These events were conducted jointly with WHO Regional Offices and WHO Country Offices.

Dear all, we´d like to compare our fees here in Brazil with other port heath authorities...
In Brazil we charge for issuing Free Practices (about U$300 for international ships) and Ship Sanitation Certificates (about U$ 500).
How much is the price of your rates? Do you charge for issuing a Free Practice or only for inspections?
Regards

Under the IHR, a Ship Sanitation Certificate can be considered invalid if it is not in the model format set out in Annex 3. But when does the decision as to when the format of a certificate fail to meet the model standard apply?
There are a few key things that I consider when looking at certificates:
1 Whether the text of the certificate as per the model in Annex 3?.
2 Whether all the key information contained in the blank format of the certificate?

On a follow on from Martin’s thread I would like to ask what resources approved Ports allocate per SSC inspection. Within the UK the inspection of ships is not centralised or subsidised so the charges we make have to cover expenses, the largest of which is officers time.
