About us

The International Society for Evidence-Based Health Care was founded in 2010

​

ISEHC was founded jointly by Dr Kameshwar Prasad, Dr Paul Glasziou AO and Dr Gordon Guyatt in 2010 with the publication of its first newsletter.

​

The 1st International Conference on Evidence-Based Health Care was held in 2012 at the India International Centre, New Delhi.

 

Since then, ISEHC has held its annual conference either as standalone: Sicily (2013), Taiwan (2014), Iran (2016), United Arab Emirates (2018), and Italy (2019); or jointly in 2015 with the International Shared Decision Making (ISDM) Society, in  Australia and in 2017 a collaboration between 5 global EBHC groups: ISEHC, Cochrane, Campbell Collaboration, JBI and

G-I-N, in South Africa.
