The WHO Western Pacific Office and its Country Offices collaborate with numerous partners across the region in order to achieve common health promotion objectives.
Partnerships are critical to WHO’s ability to effectively implement programmes and improve health throughout the Region. One of the greatest strengths of our partnerships is the ability to combine the relative strengths of different stakeholders to achieve common objectives. In addition to collaborating with a variety of partners on our ongoing base programmes, we also have a number of collaborative arrangements to carry out the work of initiatives designed specifically to improve the health of people in the Western Pacific Region.
The more than 190 WHO collaborating centres in 10 Member States in the Western Pacific Region are indispensable partners in advancing WHO’s work. The Forum provides an opportunity to share good practices and strengthen collaboration, reflect on progress and maximize the contribution of WHO collaborating centres towards universal health coverage, protection from health emergencies and healthier populations.
Established in 2015 in recognition of the fact that parliamentarians play an essential role in health, the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum on Global Health is a platform for parliamentarians to exchange ideas, build political will, strengthen capacity, and foster collaboration towards sustainable action for health.
The Asia Pacific Regional Forum on Health and the Environment was established in 2004 with a vision to safeguard and enhance health and the environment. Ministers of health and environment and high-level officials meet at regular intervals to set the overall policy direction, and to deal with policies, strategies, budgets and plans.
