AIDS and the WHO Collaborating Centres: memorandum from a WHO meeting.
The important role of WHO Collaborating Centres in international cooperation and action to control and prevent the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the affected countries, and eventually worldwide, was emphasized at a meeting in Geneva on 25-26 September 1985. The participants reviewed the progress that had been made in the past few months and recognized that WHO activities related to the control of LAV/HTLV-III infections and associated diseases, particularly AIDS, are likely to increase rapidly during the next few years. They therefore recommended the assignment of responsibility within WHO to ensure optimal coordination of activities involving the Collaborating Centres, the Organization, and the countries.
