IHM-UNICEF Collaborative Centre
The Institute of Health Management-UNICEF Collaborative Centre for Health Policy, Enhancement and Appraisal was set-up in 2005 to provide the Government and UNICEF with a reliable source of information and analysis to feed into the decision-making process to ensure effective and efficient interventions to improve the health of Malaysians.
The Collaborative Centre engages with Government agencies, as well as local and foreign institutions to produce a variety of studies. In addition, the Centre will set-up task-forces as and when appropriate and organise conferences supported by its research papers.
Research commissioned by the Centre will include a review of Malaysia’s HIV prevention of mother-to-child transmission program and a study on children orphaned by AIDS in Malaysia.
