WHAT IS A WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE
A WHO collaborating centre is a national institution designated by the Director-General of the World Health Organization to form part of an international collaborative network carrying out activities in support of WHO's mandate for international health work and its programme priorities.
An entire institution, or a department or laboratory within an institution, or a group of facilities for reference, research or training belonging to different institutions, may be designated as a "WHO collaborating centre". When a WHO collaborating centre comprises several departments or institutions, only one of these acts for that centre in relation to WHO.
The use of the title, logo and official
letterhead of "WHO collaborating centre" is strictly regulated and limited to
matters directly related to WHO collaborative activities.
