WHO Collaborating Centres
Over 900 institutions in over 100 countries supporting WHO programmes
Global Database Website: http://whocc.who.int/

The World Health Organization requires expert advice for overall scientific and technical guidance, as well as for direct support of global, interregional and regional technical cooperation programmes for national health development.

The designation of an institution as a WHO Collaborating Centre can be explored when there has been successful collaboration in
implementing jointly planned activities in support of WHO programmes and, at the same time, there is a concrete perspective
of the continuation of such collaboration.

Definition:
A WHO Collaborating Centre is an institution designated by the Director-General to form part of an international collaborative network carrying out activities in support of the Organizatîon's programmes at all levels.
