Networks of WHO Collaborating Centres
In January 2000, the Executive Board urged the Member States to make full use of WHO Collaborating Centres (WHOCCs) as sources of information, services and expertise, and to strengthen their own national capacity for training, research and collaboration for health development. At the same time, it encouraged WHOCCs to develop working relations with other centres and national institutions recognized by WHO, in particular by setting up or joining collaborative networks with WHO's support.
This has actually been the case of the WHOCCs in many areas, where networks have been created. For examples of Networks of Collaborating Centres, Please see the following links:
