Cochrane, a global independent network of researchers, professionals, patients, carers, and health enthusiasts, proudly announces the publication of its latest Special Collection titled "Cochrane at 30: what our 30th year can tell us about the future."
In an era where access to health evidence has expanded, the risk of misinterpreting complex content has grown, while the likelihood of individuals obtaining a comprehensive and balanced understanding has diminished. Cochrane's role in providing accessible, credible information to support informed decision-making has never been more critical in improving global health.
At the heart of Cochrane's mission is the collaborative production of trustworthy health information devoid of commercial sponsorship and conflicts of interest. This commitment enables the generation of authoritative and reliable evidence, unconstrained by commercial and financial interests. Cochrane's systematic reviews, which gather and analyze the best available evidence, are recognized globally as the gold standard for reliable and high-quality information.
The need for Cochrane's work is even greater than it was when we started in 1993. In an era where access to health evidence has expanded, the risk of misinterpreting complex content has grown, while the likelihood of individuals obtaining a comprehensive and balanced understanding has diminished. Cochrane's role in providing accessible, credible information to support informed decision-making has never been more critical in improving global health.
To commemorate Cochrane's 30th anniversary, we have curated a collection of Cochrane Reviews that exemplify the enduring mission and innovative approaches taken by our organization. This special collection underscores the future of Cochrane, built upon its rich history of methodological diversity and unwavering dedication to meeting user needs.
