Main interests

Promotion of evidence-based decision making, production and dissemination of scientific publications (policy briefs, systematic reviews, evidence assessment, rapid responses, newsletters and internet content) on local health issues.

Consortium work areas 

• We translate abstracts of systematic reviews into French to enrich and improve evidence availability in the French language.
• We produce evidence assessments of Cochrane Reviews on high priority health issues.
• We establish evidence-based practice task forces in health facilities to coordinate demand and supply of evidence in health care.
• We also provide training and support for health personnel, media and members of civil society on evidence-based healthcare, clinical trials and systematic reviews.
  

Current projects 

Access to Medicine: This project aims to improve access to medicine for non-communicable chronic diseases in Cameroon, such as hypertension, diabetes, prostate cancer and breast cancer. It works through the national medical observatory, a platform facilitated by the CDBPH, to ensure the documentation and the communication of information’s on the medicines in Cameroon. 

Policy buddies: In this project, we enhance policymakers' capacity to ask for and use systematic review evidence to inform policies; and researchers' capacities to respond to policymakers needs. This project is conducted in South-Africa and Cameroon at the regional level.
