Cochrane principles in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Mona Nasser is a research academic in evidence based dentistry from Plymouth University and also founder of the Cochrane Prioritisation Methods Group. The role of Cochrane is to organise medical research information in a systematic way, so that health professionals, patients, policy makers and others can use it to implement evidence based medicine.

This is the first time that the idea of evidence based health care, systematic reviews and the work of Cochrane has been introduced to Bosnia-Herzegovina in an international scientific conference.

Commenting, Mona said: “This is an exciting opportunity to introduce medical researchers in Bosnia-Herzegovina to established and emerging ideas about how we should organise medical research so it can provide the basis for improved health care methods, techniques and policies. I am delighted to be part of a Cochrane event in this country which will help its academics and clinicians play an informed role in the world of medical research.”
