The mission of the WHO/PAHO
Collaborating Center is to foster research to improve the health of
older populations in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is possible
by establishing collaborations with institutions in Latin America. The
work of the Center is also committed to training scholars with a
cross-cultural, multidisciplinary perspective.
