About Cochrane

Cochrane is known in the healthcare field as producing the “gold standard” in health evidence. While producing high-quality and relevant evidence is Cochrane’s primary goal, disseminating that evidence and establishing brand recognition beyond healthcare workers and organizations is also important. Cochrane recognizes the important role that social media and healthcare influencers play in reaching a general lay audience.
