Cochrane has announced its , focused on tackling the most pressing global health issues that drive inequity.
This strategy prioritizes four research areas:
- Maternal, newborn, and child health: enhancing the health and well-being of mothers and children globally, addressing the significant health equity disparities among different populations;
- Multiple chronic conditions: improving the lives of people living with multiple chronic conditions by identifying effective, person-centered care approaches and preventing further illnesses;
- Infectious diseases: providing people worldwide with the necessary evidence to protect themselves against both existing and emerging infectious threats;
- Climate change and sustainability: deepening our understanding of the intricate connections between climate change and human health, helping people to better cope with the health impacts of climate change.
Building on its reputation for high-quality health evidence and research integrity, Cochrane aims to provide relevant evidence for those who need it most. Innovation is a key component, with plans to harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance research methods.
In addition, collaboration with partners, national agencies, and local healthcare consumers remains at the heart of Cochrane’s approach. Cochrane seeks to drive meaningful change, led by a strong desire to promote health equity.
Cochrane First Aid fully supports this strategy by focusing on the prioritization, production and dissemination of first aid evidence in these four priority areas and beyond.
