Cooperation between SAARC and WHO

SAARC and the World Health Organisation (WHO) signed an MOU in August 2000 in the realisation that health is central to the process of socio-economic development.

The MOU takes account of the purposes of the Charter of SAARC and the Constitution of WHO and the established cooperation between WHO and the Member States of SAARC.

SAARC and WHO have agreed to mutually cooperate in agreed ways to help Member Countries to strive towards the goals of Health for All.

Among mutually agreed possibilities that would be pursued under the MOU are collaboration with the SAARC Tuberculosis Centre in Kathmandu and other institutions in South Asia, particularly those active in the field of malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDs. Research, analysis and dissemination of information are to be promoted on enhancing technical cooperation and human resources development, including in respect of programmes for women and children and mobilising innovative action in favour of the underprivileged.

Specific projects and programmes of collaboration will be developed in areas of regional cooperation for approval by the WHO and the SAARC Standing Committee.
