| Summary: | The purpose of this book is to provide
information about what works -- specifically, the
cost-effectiveness of health interventions in a variety of
settings. Such information should influence the redesign of
programs and the reallocation of resources, thereby helping
to achieve the ultimate goal of reducing morbidity and
mortality. As was the case with the first edition, this
second edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing
Countries will serve an array of audiences. This second
edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing
Countries (DCP2) seeks to update and improve guidance on the
what-to-do questions in DCP1 and to address the
institutional, organizational, financial, and research
capacities essential for health systems to deliver the right
interventions. DCP2 is the principal product of the Disease
Control Priorities Project, an alliance of organizations
designed to review, generate, and disseminate information on
how to improve population health in developing countries. In
addition to DCP2, the project produced numerous background
papers, an extensive range of interactive consultations held
around the world, and several additional major publications. |
