We are grateful to many friends and colleagues in South Africa and abroad for their encouragement and support. Guidance from members of the Centre's Advisory Board is appreciated.

The Cochrane Collaboration's central functions are funded by royalties from its publishers, John Wiley and Sons Limited, which come from sales of subscriptions to The Cochrane Library. The individual entities of The Cochrane Collaboration are funded by a large variety of governmental, institutional and private funding sources, and are bound by organization-wide policy limiting uses of funds from corporate sponsors.
