Welcome to JBI COnNECT Bahrain!

The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island state in the Persian Gulf. It has a well-developed health system and both government and professionals in Bahrain publicly support evidence-based healthcare.

There is a Bahrain branch of the UK Cochrane Centre. Bahrain does not provide national access to the Cochrane Library.

Currently, there is only one JBI member in Bahrain and there are no JBI Centres or Groups established.

This JBI COnNECT Bahrain site links members in Bahrain to the Joanna Briggs Institute Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics (JBI COnNECT). JBI COnNECT is a website that provides health professionals with easy access to resources so that they can find and use evidence to inform clinical decision-making. Subscribers to JBI COnNECT can access, appraise and use evidence. The resources contained in JBI COnNECT are targeted at a wide range of health professionals and lay caregivers nd are designed to promote evidence informed decision-making. Individual organisations can subscribe to JBI COnNECT and you may do so by clicking here.

However, imagine if the whole population of Bahrain (that is, every health professional, manager, academic, student AND every patient or consumer of health services) had access to the best available research information to inform his or her decisions and effective tools to monitor and evaluate health practices.  As an associate of the Joanna Briggs Institute, whole states and countries can take advantage of the great resources we provide, but many still can't.  All of country association to the Joanna Briggs Institute, paid for by Government, ensures that everyone in your country would have access to the best available information.

Over half the world's population already has access to the Cochrane library and there are JBI members in over 90 countries who have access to JBI.
