Disease moves fast. Knowledge must move faster.

Decades can pass before affordable treatments and high standards of care reach every corner of the globe.

People shouldn’t die from systemic knowledge gaps, and health professionals shouldn’t have to make decisions alone.

We collaborate with global partners in low- and middle-income countries to put reliable information and tools into the hands of health professionals. Together we are strengthening health systems, building capacity and changing the course of human health – one patient at a time.

There cannot be a ‘one size fits all’ approach to delivering covid-19 vaccination programmes, writes Dr Patrick Osewe, Chief of the Health Sector Group, Asian Development Bank in his latest opinion piece.

  • Used by over 50,000 clinicians in 13 middle-income countries
  • Over 95% of clinicians said BMJ’s tools help them improve patient care
  • Average post-assessment scores rose from 51% to 89%

Tackling infectious diseases with the right tools

Controlling non-communicable diseases

 
 
 

Non-communicable diseases represent 60% of the disease burden worldwide and their impact in low- and middle- income countries is increasing.

Our evidence-based digital resource covers 95% of the most commonly presenting conditions, including all the key non-communicable diseases (NCDs) affecting people in China and globally.

Improving primary care skills to save communities

 
 
 

Skilled primary care professionals and robust quality standards lay the foundations for successful healthcare systems. They can be the difference between life and death, work and unemployment, wellness, and chronic ill-health.

We work with partners around the world to train and empower primary care clinicians to deliver evidence-based medicine.  Our recent programme trained 18,210 doctors across 1,000 institutions.

Empowering governments to strengthen health systems

 
 
 

Accreditation is an important incentive toward creating successful training methods for health professionals. That’s why our learning resources are accredited in 63 countries.

Recently, our partnership with the Government of Ukraine helped to establish a CME system that requires doctors to gain 250 credits over five years. Meanwhile, the availability of BMJ’s learning resources in Georgia was a catalyst for change that has strengthened its CPD system.

Supporting low and middle income countries to achieve universal health coverage

 
 
 

Achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by all United Nations Member States will require an international multidisciplinary response. 

We provide governments and international decision makers with the data they need to achieve these goals.
