Hi all,

I'm searching for a map or a list with all health risk countries.
Background of this issue are the BRC and IFS regulations regarding the health of our staff.
So the risk countries must be related to the risks and hazards of personal health.

I'v searched on the "www" and visit the WHO site (www.who.int) but did not find a clear map or list.
Maybe one of you have something usefull or put me in a right direction.

Many thanks in advance

This document from the Health Protection Agency may be of use:

If you are looking for a specific risk then may be able to help with that.

Thanks Tony for your reply - however this is not exaclty what I'm looking for.

I've attached a picture with the world map on it. This is a map with red & green notification. This is easy for visitors and (temporary) workers to watch and to fill out a health questionnaire. (for example: have you visit any of these risk countries?)

I use this picture for several of years now. But the problem is:
- The risk area's on this map are officialy only for malaria and not specific for health diseases which could be a problem for the food safety.
- How to arrange updates (when new risk countries are notified). I thought the WHO is the central organisation for that.

Okay maybe this is more like what you're looking for - I think your going have to do the colouring yourself though.

World Map Infectious Diseases

You can select the types of disease and there is lots of up to date information available.
