World EBHC Day is celebrated on October 20 in partnership with JBI, Cochrane, the Campbell Collaboration, Guidelines International Network (GIN), the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, the Centre for Evidence-based Health Care, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
 
The campaign for World EBHC Day 2023 is centered on Evidence and Global Health Equity. Evidence is a prerequisite for achieving global health equity.

In Cochrane Rehabilitation, we have contributed with two blogs:

The 2023 campaign is a call to action to take concrete steps toward equity-centered and evidence-informed decision making, drawing attention to the need to enhance collaboration, information sharing, and networking to increase access to research evidence and to move toward integrated systems that prioritize equity, inclusivity, and multisectoral participation of all actors.
