Search WHO’s published output — guidelines, technical reports, World Health Reports, weekly epidemiological records and governing-body documents — through IRIS, the Institutional Repository for Information Sharing.

Why downloads are a second call

Download URLs are not in the search response, and DSpace’s embed= parameter does not carry them — bitstreams hang off the item’s bundles. Fetching them for every hit would cost two extra requests per result for links most callers never open, so search returns the permanent handle URL and who_iris_item resolves real file URLs on demand.

The bundle nesting is deeper than it looks: each bundle’s bitstreams is itself a paginated HAL collection, so files live at bundles[]._embedded.bitstreams._embedded.bitstreams[].

Data sources

• WHO IRIS (DSpace 7 REST) — https://iris.who.int/server/api/discover/search/objects?query=tuberculosis
• IRIS front end — https://iris.who.int/

Note: HEAD on a bitstream content URL returns 500; GET serves the PDF normally. That is a DSpace quirk, not a broken link.
