The South Asian Cochrane Network was established in December 2004 as a branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre. The Network was formed to co-ordinate the training and support needs for the growing number of review authors based in the region, and to promote awareness of the Cochrane Collaboration. The following countries make up the Network: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. There are now more than 280 contributors from South Asia of which more than 200 are review authors, representing half of all review groups. There are five editors from South Asia. New review topics from authors in the region are being registered every week.

The South Asian Cochrane Network (SACN) consists of a central coordinating base at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India and is a devolved network of sites across the South Asian Region each contributing to and supporting the activities of the SACN. At present, the SACN comprises of six sites in India, two in Pakistan, one in Bangladesh and one in Sri Lanka. We are looking for network partners in Bhutan, Nepal and the Maldives
