Collaboration of WHO Centres
WHO has been encouraging its Collaborating Centres 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 (see http://www.who.int/collaboratingcentres/networks/en).

- WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmaceutical Policies, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
