"It is of vital importance to have reliable medical evidence available to as many people possible, which means to have them translated to as many languages as we possibly can."

Zorislava Bajić

"Cochrane translations are very important because that is the way we can connect an ordinary man with medical topics, and can encourage medical professionals to show their experience and scientific accomplishment."

"Translating documentations, leaflets, blog articles, etc. helps communication all over the world, which in turn helps to educate people and build a better world, I hope!"

Mahir Fidahic

Luis Eduardo Santos Fontes

"About 300 million people have Portuguese as the native (or secondary) language, and unfortunately, language is still a barrier to dissemination and implementation of high-quality evidence to health care. Translation of Cochrane content is of paramount importance to achieve better and well informed decision-making."

“First aid should be based on scientific evidence. I wanted to contribute to Cochrane First Aid, as I believe that this project makes first aid evidence available and accessible to most people, in a language and format that is understood by most people, not only professionals.”

James Pearce

“It is vitally important to base first aid interventions on the best available evidence. The generation of knowledge and evidence is one important aspect of evidence-based health care, but evidence translation and implementation are just as important. This is why the dissemination work of Cochrane First Aid is so important – to get the best available evidence into the hands of the people who provide the care.”
