Working across countries, languages and health systems to strengthen trustworthy, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines throughout Eurasia.
Regional collaboration
Methodological capacity
Trustworthy guidelines
Eurasia encompasses countries with diverse healthcare systems, cultures, languages, economic environments and levels of experience in clinical practice guideline development and implementation.
Despite this diversity, countries across the region face many common challenges, including fragmented guideline activities, duplication of effort, limited methodological capacity, insufficient implementation support and difficulties in adapting international recommendations to local healthcare contexts.
The Eurasian Clinical Practice Guidelines Initiative was created to transform these shared challenges into opportunities for regional cooperation.
Work that respects the languages, cultures and health-system traditions of the region.
Methods grounded in internationally recognised, evidence-based standards.
A collaboration platform spanning countries, institutions and professions.
Common priorities, less duplication and stronger implementation together.
A Eurasian region in which healthcare decisions are informed by high-quality, transparent, context-sensitive and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, contributing to better healthcare outcomes and more equitable health systems.

We aim to connect expertise across countries, build methodological capacity and facilitate the translation of scientific evidence into clinical practice and health policy.
