I became a Cochrane Member by helping to peer review Cochrane Reviews.

Participating in Cochrane’s work has been an excellent decision.

One of my professional goals is to be able to contribute to high-quality research and produce independent evidence to improve healthcare decision-making that promotes health and reduces inequality.

I really love Cochrane as an early career researcher. There is always something new to learn! I am so proud that I am part of such a reputable and strong network which gives me opportunities to engage in more collaborative working.
