Filling the gaps: pioneering living evidence gap maps for dengue
Dengue is rising rapidly worldwide, driven by climate change. Cochrane’s new dengue evidence gap map highlights where strong research exists and where critical gaps remain. Developed with global stakeholders, discover how it could guide decisions, policies, and future research to reduce the impact of dengue.
Cochrane's sustainable path to open access

2025 in review: tracking and growing patient and public involvement
For more than 30 years, Cochrane has championed the involvement of patients and the public in shaping health evidence, and this commitment remains just as strong today. In 2025, we took significant steps to embed PPI more deeply into our work.
From preventing complications in pregnancy to improving outcomes for the world’s youngest children, our work reflects the disparities in maternal, newborn and child health that still persist today. For Maternal Health Awareness Day, we take a look at some of Cochrane's achievements in this area, and our plans for the future.
