Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Children’s Environmental Health

The WHO Collaborating Centre in Children’s Environmental Health at the Icahn School of Medicine is continuing Mount Sinai’s long and proud tradition of working in low- and middle-income countries to improve the health of people around the world by building global partnerships in research, education, and patient care.

As a hub in an international network of children’s environmental health researchers, the Centre is:

  • Building global capacity in children’s environmental health by conducting training workshops and developing training materials.
  • Building scientific evidence on children’s environmental health for the development of country-specific blueprints for disease prevention and health promotion.
  • Translating children’s environmental health research findings to inform disease prevention and health promotion strategies worldwide.
