On 20 February 2012, a NIVEL delegation visited the WHO European Office in Copenhagen to discuss activities for the next two years to be undertaken by NIVEL as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Primary Care.
NIVEL has been a WHO Collaborating Centre since 1987. In that role NIVEL has contributed to the support of health care reforms in the WHO European Region. NIVEL is currently carrying out several projects commissioned by WHO. The projects are intended to provide countries with information and mechanisms to support policy to strengthen the primary care level of health care.
