Cochrane Systematic Review and Meta Analysis

Cochrane Overview: Cochrane is a global, independent network of researchers, professionals, patients, carers, and people interested in health. It is renowned for producing high-quality, trusted systematic reviews and meta-analyses of healthcare interventions. Cochrane reviews are considered the gold standard in health care due to their rigorous methodology.

Cochrane Pakistan: Establishing the Cochrane Pakistan chapter is a significant milestone in advancing evidence-based healthcare in the region. By providing training and resources, Cochrane Pakistan supports local researchers in producing systematic reviews that address region-specific health issues, contributing to the global Cochrane Library. In this regard, 25 faculty members from NSHS attended a capacity building workshop at NUMS, Rawalpindi. This faculty will undergo further instruction designed for “Master Trainers” and join the Cochrane Consortium. Cochrane Pakistan aims to build capacity for conducting systematic reviews, promote the use of Cochrane evidence in healthcare decision-making, and foster collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and policymakers. This collaboration will further Cochrane Pakistan’s goal to develop the regional center for EMRO.
