During the Cochrane Governing Board meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, last March, the establishment of the Cochrane Mexico Centre was approved. This Centre, part of the Cochrane Iberoamerican Network, will have more autonomy to promote Cochrane activities in Mexico. 

The Mexican Cochrane Centre consists of five Associated Centres located at Culiacán (Sinaloa's Pediatric Hospital), Guadalajara (University of Guadalajara), Mexico City (Mexico's Children Hospital Federico Gómez and Clínica Médica Sur Foundation) and Cuernavaca (National Institute of Public Health).

To celebrate this achievement, Cochrane Mexico is organizing a National Symposium on August 30 and 31, in Mexico City. The event is preceded by a series of pre-symposium workshops (see for further details lanzamiento de Cochrane Mexico).

The launch of Cochrane Mexico coincides with the launch of the new Cochrane Library online platform. Our online platform has been redesigned and enhanced to improve user experience and functionality. It includes several features that will improve the user experience for people whose preferred language is not English, including improved visibility of non-English content, a new Spanish language homepage, and the ability to search in different languages.

To learn more about the Cochrane Library and how to use the new site, see the Cochrane Library Training page (available in Spanish).
