Announcements

We’ve now updated and improved the functionality of the PPD/CCNC database of systematic reviews about governance, financial and delivery arrangements within health systems. The database now contains more than 800 systematic reviews and we've added links to abstracts, user-friendly summaries and full-text reports whenever possible.
