The Guidelines International Network, G-I-N, is a global network, founded in 2002. It has grown to comprise 98 organisations and 107 individual members representing 40 countries from all continents (July 2013). The network supports evidence-based health care and improved health outcomes by reducing inappropriate variation throughout the world.
