The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that provide high-quality information about health care. It is known for its systematic reviews, which summarize the best available evidence on various medical treatments and interventions. These reviews help doctors, researchers, and patients make informed decisions about health care options.
The library is named after Archie Cochrane, a British epidemiologist who emphasized the importance of evidence-based medicine. By offering access to rigorous research, the Cochrane Library plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes and ensuring that medical practices are based on solid evidence.
