Network with research groups, governmental agencies and NGOs

Academic groups

As mentioned throughout this site, many of the core researchers had their training within the collaborative project on Reproductive and Child Health in which the Swedish counterparts were researchers at the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Umeå University. For the further development of the Centre’s research and educational activities this collaboration is still essential, i.e. the postgraduate students that are linked to the Umeå department as well as the planned Master training courses which are results of the joint effort between the Centre and the Umeå department. The collaborating researchers are presented in Appendix 2.


Close research cooperation has been established with Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS, Yale University, New Haven, USA, and Centro Centroamericano de Poblacíon (CCP), University of Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica.

The Centre is also a part of a network of health surveillance systems - the INDEPTH collaboration - which includes the Public Health Sciences Division at ICDDR,B and at Matlab, Bangladesh, the Butajira Rural Health project in Ethiopia, and the field laboratories in Purworeyo, Indonesia and FilaBavi, Vietnam.

Local health services and government

The Centre collaborates closely with the local health services, SILAIS-León and MINSA, as well as with the local government and local community groups in order to make the demographic health system available for local health planning.

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

In addition to local community groups, several NGOs have been collaborators with the former research group and now the Centre. Among these are the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), Washington, USA, and the Pan American Health Organization, PAHO, as well as local organizations in León, such as Proyecto Clinica Mobil, Mary Barreda, Centro de Información y Servicios de Acesoria en Salud, (CISAS), and Centro de Atención y Recreación para Adolescentes de Sutiava, (CARAS).
