The China Research and Rehabilitation Center for Deaf Children was authorized as a WHO Collaborating Center for the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Hearing Impairment.

Ivo Kocur, WHO team leader for Prevention of Blindness and Deafness, said the decision was made on the basis of previous successful cooperation. The center will assist the WHO in training rehabilitation personnel, and providing technical support for the deaf. It will also provide cost analyses of hearing aid equipment for governmental decisions.

According to Huang Xiangyang, director of the China Research and Rehabilitation Center, China has an increased number of 20,000 newborn babies with hearing impairment a year. The country has organized National Hearing Day for a consecutive 10 years. In 2002, the government announced that by 2015, it would provide help for every hearing-impaired person in China.
