Abstract

This regional West African Health Organization (WAHO) workshop presentation outlines the building blocks for evidence-based health care, including information about the “Cochrane Collaboration.” This is an international network of individuals and institutions committed to preparing, maintaining and disseminating systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. A screenshot/link to the Cochrane Library webpage is provided. Systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines are presented as they fit within evidence-based health care systems. Relevant high-quality Cochrane systematic reviews inform WHO policy and practice guidelines.
