Cochrane is an international not-for-profit research organisation that aims to help people make informed decisions about health care. It is a registered charity in the United Kingdom. Its name derives from Archie Cochrane, a British epidemiologist who drew attention to our great collective ignorance about the effects of health care. He recognised that people do not have ready access to reliable reviews of the available evidence. (http://www.cochrane.org).
