A review of the Collaboration's performance 2011/11

The Cochrane Collaboration is an international network of more than 28,000 dedicated people from over 100 countries. We work together to help health care providers, policy-makers, patients, their advocates and carers, make well-informed decisions about health care, based on the best available research evidence, by preparing, updating and promoting the accessibility of Cochrane Reviews – over 4,600 so far, published online
in The Cochrane Library. Our work is internationally recognised as the benchmark for high-quality information about the effectiveness of health care.

Our vision is that healthcare decision-making throughout the world
will be informed by high-quality, timely research evidence.
We will play a pivotal role in the production and dissemination
of this evidence across all areas of health care.
