Information you can trust
It’s not easy finding the best information to care for yourself or your family. Many news headlines target sensationalist stories that don’t convey the truth. What we want is information we can trust. Where can are the top medical stories without all the spin?
What treatments work? Which drugs are best?
At Cochrane, we bring the experts together to find out what really matters. Find out about the medical options without getting stuck in the science.
Cochrane's vision is that making decisions in healthcare should be informed by high-quality, timely research evidence. Our crew of dedicated researchers review clinical studies, then translate proven results into information we can use.
Independent Research
Cochrane is an independent, not-for-profit organisation, funded by a variety of sources including governments, universities, hospital trusts, charities and personal donations.
“We do not accept commercial or conflicted funding – this is vital for us to generate authoritative and reliable information, produced by people who can work freely, unconstrained by commercial and financial interests." - Nick Royle, CEO, The Cochrane Collaboration

Proven Science
Cochrane reviews are so widely recognized, that many countries purchase national subscriptions so everyone can access the journal. Cochrane Reviews contain the most rigorous application of scientific methods, so if you want to learn more, pay a visit to TheCochraneLibrary.com.
Global Presence
There is no one place or office that is ‘The Cochrane Collaboration’. Our contributors and entities are based all around the world and the majority of our work is carried out online. Each entity is a ‘mini-organisation’ in itself, with its own funding, website and workload. Contributors affiliate themselves to an entity, or in some cases several entities, based on their interests, expertise and/or geographical location.
