Headline Regional Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres 2025

Description From 4 to 5 November, more than 200 experts from 122 collaborating centres across the 38 countries and areas of the Western Pacific came together in Manila for the fifth time since 2014.

Collaborating centres are specialized institutions – including universities, research centres and public health institutes – designated by WHO to support Member States. In the Western Pacific, they act as extensions of WHO technical capacity, helping countries build stronger, more equitable health systems and respond to challenges ranging from noncommunicable diseases to climate-related health risks.

With the theme, Interweaving Innovation and Unity: Elevating Partnerships for Health and Well-being in the Western Pacific, the two-day forum celebrated how collaboration fuels real change, from tackling antimicrobial resistance and advancing digital health, to reducing the harms of noncommunicable diseases and preparing for future pandemics.
