Research
The breadth and depth of health research supported by WHO's Western Pacific Region office covers all the major public health issues faced by the Region's lower- and middle-income countries, from communicable and non-communicable diseases to maternal/child health and health systems and policies. Working closely with Ministries of Health, WHO supports them to fill knowledge gaps and strenghten the governance and management of national-level research, and develop national research capacity.

Health Research Portal
To improve the accountability and transparency in health research, a Health Research Portal has been launched in March 2012.
One can search research studies that are being sponsored by the WHO regional or country offices in Western Pacific in different member states since January 2011.
Overtime, access to the final report or other publications for a particular research will also be provided through the same portal.
