Cochrane Cameroon: bringing Cochrane to francophone sub-Saharan Africa.

June 30th 2021 marks the launching of Cochrane Cameroon in Yaounde, Cameroon. Cochrane Cameroon is the fourth geographical group of Cochrane in sub-Saharan Africa, following Cochrane South Africa (1997), Cochrane Nigeria (2006) and Cochrane Kenya (2021). All are part of the Cochrane Africa Network, formally established in 2017. Cochrane Cameroon is based in the Centre for Development of Best Practices in Health, at the Yaounde Central Hospital in Cameroon, and is the base of the Francophone hub of Cochrane Africa [1]. The Francophone hub includes Benin, Burkino Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mali and Senegal.
