IHDRO

The IHDRO, or the International Health and Disease Research Organization, is an International Organization run by WISE (World Institution for Science and Exploration) under mandate from the International Concord. Run under the guiding Third Principle of WISE, the Organization exists in order to coordinate Worldwide research on disease and treatments, coordinate responses to Pandemics and disease outbreaks, and offer developmental assistance and advisement to Countries with poor health infrastructure. They were notably part of the Cralas Nuclear Relief Efforts along with the International Red Crescent, and helped pioneer research on the effects of radiation on Human beings as well as potential palliative medical treatments. They also helped develop the MMR (Mumps, Measles, and Rubella) vaccine, and conducted studies on the Ginsukyoan Healthcare System. The organization obtains funds through a combination of donations from the IC, WISE Grants, and private fundraising efforts. Governance is performed by an Executive Council of Medical Experts elected from the Medical Boards of WISE, and approved by the IC.
