What has been the value of the WHO Network of Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health?
The WHO Global Strategy on Occupational Health for All, which was approved by the WHO World Health Assembly in 1996, continues to fuel and motivate the activities within the WHO Global Program in Occupational Health. In recent years, recognition of the value of collaborative efforts led to the development of a common global agenda at the 5th Network meeting in Changmai, Thailand (2001). Agreement was reached to work together in fifteen occupational health priority areas that constitute the 2001-2005 WHO Global Collaborating Center Work Plan.
