The Islands and Small State Institute was designated a World Health Organisation collaborating centre on health systems and policies in small states. It will work with WHO as a centre of excellence and specifically develop frameworks and policies for strengthening resilience in small state health systems; co-organise capacity-building events on health system leadership and governance in the specific contexts of small states; support the area of health information and evidence generation in small states; and develop appropriate performance assessment mechanisms for small health systems.
The Institute has a notable track record of top-level policy research on resilience, economy, environment and health in small states.
WHO collaborating centres are institutions such as research institutes, parts of universities, or academies that are designated by the WHO director-general to carry out activities in support of the Organisation’s programmes. Currently there are over 700 WHO collaborating centres in 80 countries.
