The workshop with 8 technical sessions conducted over a span of 2 days, was attended by more than 400 delegates across various units/institutes of CCRH. The aim was to build capacity of scientists/ researchers of CCRH about the conduct of systematic reviews and meta- analyses, as they represent the highest level in the hierarchy of scientific evidence and are pivotal in enhancing the credibility, integration, and application of Ayush systems in mainstream healthcare.
