Cochrane has announced that the Cochrane Library is now freely available to health decision-makers across Malaysia.
The partnership between Cochrane Malaysia, Wiley, and researchers from the National Institutes of Health within the Malaysian Ministry of Health, launches the world-renowned Cochrane Library across the country, making it possible for decision-makers to use evidence to improve health decisions and expand evidence-based treatment in the Malaysian national healthcare system.
Cochrane is a global independent network of health practitioners, researchers, patient advocates and others in 140 countries working together to produce credible and accessible health information in the form of Cochrane systematic reviews and other evidence-based content and resources. This health information is published on the Cochrane Library.
Cochrane Malaysia was officially formed as a branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre in September 2014. It is a network coordinated by RCSI & UCD Malaysia Campus and comprising four other institutions: Institute for Medical Research, Melaka-Manipal Medical College, University of Malaya and Universiti Sains Malaysia. Its work advocates for the evidence-informed health care across the country holding training events, mentoring authors, establishing close links with the Ministry of Health, and building up a network of individuals able to provide local support for the publication of Cochrane systematic reviews.
