WHO Urges Coexistence of Digital and Paper Ship Health Documents
The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged States Parties to support both digital and non-digital formats of ship-related health documents, such as the Ship Declaration of Health and Ship Sanitation Certificates. This follows amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) that took effect for most States Parties on 19 September 2025, promoting flexible documentation methods for maritime health compliance.
