The Oxford-Egypt Evidence-based Healthcare Alliance
The Oxford-Egypt Evidence-Based Healthcare (EBHC) Alliance is a new academic collaboration between Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) and New Giza University Hospital (NGUH), dedicated to strengthening evidence-based healthcare education, research, and practice in Egypt.
The collaboration aims to develop the next generation of Evidence-Based Health Care leaders and educators, generate high-quality research in priority health areas, and promote a culture of evidence-based practice through the use of trusted tools and resources.
A central ambition of the Alliance is to support the establishment of a centre of excellence for evidence-based healthcare in Egypt, facilitating transformation across the healthcare system and contributing to improved health outcomes in the wider Middle East and Africa region.
