On October 20th, the global evidence ecosystem honours World Evidence-informed Healthcare Day, a time to promote, raise awareness of, and celebrate evidence-informed healthcare's accomplishments worldwide.

This year's campaign was focused on "PARTNERSHIPS FOR PURPOSE."
To commemorate the event, Cochrane Cameroon partnered with CDBPHS, PEERS Cameroon, and eBASE Africa to host an awareness-raising workshop in the Laurence Vergne room at Yaoundé Central Hospital.

 The workshop brought together 30 experts from various fields, who learned about the importance of using dependable information to inform healthcare choices. Participants were introduced to the principles of evidence-informed healthcare and provided with practical tools and resources to access and evaluate trustworthy information.

The workshop included interactive sessions and group discussions, which fostered a deeper understanding of how evidence-informed healthcare can improve patient results and contribute to more effective healthcare systems. It also emphasized the need for collaboration among different stakeholders to ensure the widespread adoption of evidence-informed practices in Cameroon's healthcare sector.

The workshop was a great success, and attendees left feeling inspired and equipped to incorporate evidence-informed healthcare into their work. The partnerships formed during the event will continue to strengthen and support the evidence ecosystem in Cameroon, paving the way for advancements in healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Cochrane Cameroon, CDBPHS, PEERS Cameroon, and eBASE Africa are committed to continuing their work together to ensure that evidence-informed healthcare is accessible and utilized across the country. World Evidence-informed Healthcare Day 2022 was a significant step forward in achieving this goal, and we look forward to the continued growth and success of this important movement.
