WHO are we?

It is only one of the two collaborating centres for traditional medicine in the USA and the Region of the Americas (AMRO), with the second centre being located at the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), NIH. Two centres each are located in the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), European (EURO), and 13 are in the Western Pacific (WPRO) Regions.
