The Institute of Public Health informs public policy to support healthier populations in Ireland and Northern Ireland. We focus on prevention and promotion of population health, rather than health protection and infectious diseases.
During the COVID-19 pandemic the Institute is supporting both Departments of Health and health agencies in Ireland and Northern Ireland where possible by providing policy and research analysis, and communication support.
If you need assistance regarding COVID-19, symptoms, and organising a test you can find more information below relating to the relevant agencies in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET), chaired by the Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan, is monitoring the situation in relation to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in Ireland.
The NPHET meets to assess the situation and is receiving advice from public health experts, including the WHO and ECDC.
Further information is available from:
The Department of Health and the Public Health Agency (PHA) is working with partners across the UK including Public Health England, health trusts in Northern Ireland, and the health service in Ireland, on the response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
Further information is available from:
In line with the recommendations of the Chief Medical Officers in Ireland and Northern Ireland, the staff of the Institute of Public Health will be working remotely during this period. Our offices in Dublin and Belfast will remain closed, but our operations continue.
The Institute is encouraging the use of virtual meetings and digital first technology. Our team is available as normal and contact details are listed below.
