About RHDC
The Regional health development centres were created to ensure sustainability of results, technical knowledge and experience accumulated 
during the phase of highly successful implementation of many regional projects. Although all programs and projects of SEEHN were of regional nature, coordination and management of activities in the region were carried out from the central office of a regional project in one leader country, which became leader in one area thanking to many years of experience in one field. The country became a centre of expertise and knowledge and thereby acquired the condition to become Regional centre for health development in own area.
RHDC, as the heirs of the project leaders and centres of expertise in a particular field, play a coordinating role in the implementation of technical activities in implementation of the programs, projects and activities, followed by a role in the harmonization of standards and guidelines in this particular area, promotion of health policy and priorities of SEEHN, analysis and exchange of information, conducting research, and the development of regional strategies and best practices.
The decision of establishing of the Regional health development centres in member countries of SEEHN was made at the 25th meeting held in Sofia, Bulgaria (16 – 18 June 2011). Memorandum of Understanding provides that RHDC may be new or already existing institutions or institutions in a Member State which has activities in a specific technical area.
