WHO CollaboratingCentres form
part of an inter-institutional collaborative network established
by WHO in support of its programmes at the country, intercountry, regional, interregional or global
levels, as appropriate. In line with
the WHO policy and strategy of technical cooperation, a WHO CollaboratingCentre
must also participate in the strengthening of country resources, in terms of
information, services, research and training, in support of national health
development. WHO Collaborating Centres
are designated for an initial period of four years.
In 2007, there are 33 WHO Collaborating Centres, comprising a variety of technical areas, active
in Thailand. For a listing of these centres,
including areas of expertise and contact information, please see List of Centres.
Following the recent end of a global moratorium on the establishment
and re-designation of collaborating centres, WHO
Thailand is considering applications for more collaborating centres.
Recommendations will be based upon a review of WHO priority areas
aligned with institutional capacities, to come up with a more focused and
responsive collaborative network.
