I'm not familiar with the syntax you're using, but one problem is
that your parentheses are not balanced -- there's an extra closing
parenthesis. That's probably what the error is complaining about. You
might want to try to use whitespace to see the structure of your
query better, e.g.,

SELECT o.orgunitname AS ouname
     , e.entrynumber AS value_field
     , centroid(c.the_geom) AS the_geom
     , c.ogc_fid AS ogc_fid
FROM (
     ctrphc AS c
     INNER JOIN orgunit o ON c.dhs_ouname = o.orgunitname)
INNER JOIN (
     SELECT orgunitid
         , entrynumber
     FROM routinedataou4
     WHERE dataelementid=1195
         AND dataperiodid = 86
     ) AS e ON o.orgunitid = e.orgunitid) AS new_table USING UNIQUE
ogc_fid USING SRID=-1

Hope this helps a bit.
