Dear User,

 

Good News!!

 

Cochrane Library Database is now available online and can be accessed throughout the Sultanate of Oman without username or password.

 http://www.thecochranelibrary.com/view/0/index.html

 

It has been initiated as a good gesture and freely made available by OMSB in order to support better health practices through providing best resources to the Sultanates health community.

 

The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases in medicine and other healthcare specialties provided by the Cochrane Collaboration and other organizations. At its core is the collection of Cochrane Reviews, a database of systematic reviews and meta-analyses which summarize and interpret the results of medical research. The Cochrane Library aims to make the results of well-conducted controlled trials readily available and is a key resource in evidence-based medicine.

 

Best wishes,
