Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology as an Essential Part of Universal Health Coverage: A Joint Position Statement to Strengthen Rehabilitation in Health Systems

The Next Cochrane Colloquium will be held on 4–6 September 2023, at Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Centre in London, with satellite event

On January 24, 2023, 8 - 9 am EST (1-2 pm GMT), there will be a webinar from the Global Commission on Evidence, with the topic: The Evidence Commission report: A one-year update and 2023 action plan. Since releasing the Evidence Commission report in January 2022, the Evidence Commission has focused its efforts on three implementation priorities:

Globally, an estimated 2.4 billion people live with a health condition that could benefit from rehabilitation. Despite this, the need for rehabilitation continues to go unmet in many countries. In some low- and middle-income countries, more than 50% of people who require rehabilitation do not access the services they need. Recognizing this challenge, Cochrane has joined the World Rehabilitation Alliance (WRA), a World Health Organization global network of stakeholders which aims to support the implementation of the Rehabilitation2030 initiative by jointly advocating.

Cochrane Rehabilitation and the Indonesian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PERDOSRI) are pleased to announce the signature of a collaboration agreement. PERDOSRI is an organization that oversees physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists in the territory of Indonesia. Their vision focuses on the realization of professional quality, integrity, and excellence nationally and internationally.

The Annual Report 2021 of Cochrane Rehabilitation is ready.

In February 2022, the Cochrane Governing Board approved a new model for producing Cochrane evidence syntheses, following a community consultation process. One need that has emerged is that Cochrane needs to evolve its review format.

Cochrane organized a series of webinars focused on the Future of Evidence Synthesis change program. There will be Project-focused sessions alternating with sessions built around topics or questions from specific Cochrane Groups. Through this link you will find a form through which you can suggest what topics will be covered in upcoming Future of Evidence Synthesis webinars. 

The European Forum for Research in Rehabilitation (EFRR) is the major multidisciplinary rehabilitation research forum in Europe. During the next webinar, on May 19, 2022, from 19:00 to 20:00, Carlotte Kiekens and Stefano Negrini will talk about “The new definition of rehabilitation developed by Cochrane Rehabilitation with all the major global stakeholders,” an initiative promoted by Cochrane Rehabilitation to define a comprehensive rehabilitation definition for scientific purposes.
