關於 EACA

在東亞工作的醫療專業人員擁有一些共同的特徵，包括：文化、語言與習俗等。因此，有必要在這個區域進行更緊密的策略合作，將專家及資源整合，以分享推動實證健康照護 (evidence-based health care) 的專業經驗。於是，2007年11月在臺北舉行的亞太實證醫學網絡 (Asia Pacific Evidence-Based Medicine Network) 會議上，東亞5個國家 (香港、日本、韓國、新加坡與臺灣) 的代表達成共識，決定結成聯盟，以提供更好的區務合作及推廣考科藍 (Cochrane)。這也促成東亞考科藍聯盟 (East Asia Cochrane Alliance, EACA) 的成立。

 

  • 第二屆 EACA 會議是在第17屆 Cochrane Colloquium 期間，於2009年10月在新加坡舉辦。EACA 的代表闡明了本聯盟的宗旨，並探索學術合作的潛在可能與討論 logistic 議題。
