The paper presents a brief review of successful cooperation of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS) with the World Health Organization (WHO) in developing biomedical research and promoting the scientific bases of public health. This cooperation is effected in different forms. The work of 30 WHO collaborating centers on the basis of 18 RAMS Research Institutions plays the leading part in this cooperation. The paper contains specific data on the activities of these centers in the field of medical research, scientific publications, education, and training of medical staff for Russia and other countries. The financial support given by the WHO to its collaborating centers is now very limited, but scientific information, medicaments, and equipment which can be received by the centers from this Organization are very valuable.
