Background:

  • Clinical practice guidelines are crucial outputs from the National Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT).
  • Recent publications detail guiding principles for developing these guidelines.
  • The ninth principle mandates transparency regarding evidence used in recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the National Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel's (CATMAT) approach to evidence-based medicine.
