Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. At the turn of the millennium, the world experienced a dramatic increase in funding for global health programs. Competing demands for these resources meant that policymakers needed access to valid, evidence-based information on the costs and consequences of a broad range of health interventions. By providing systematic and comparable information about purchasing health in LMICs, Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries, Second Edition greatly informed and enriched these conversations and & we hope - improved resource allocations. Nearly ten years later, increased attention to chronic diseases and the importance of health systems in providing access to quality care is once again reshaping the global health landscape. Low- and middle-income countries are continuing to set priorities for funding and deploying specific interventions, but with a greater appreciation for the contribution of program and economic evaluation to informed decision-making. The need to make decisions across an increasingly complex set of policy and intervention choices, attuned to specific health system capabilities, makes a third iteration of Disease Control Priorities all the more critical. Similar to the first and second editions of Disease Control Priorities (DCP1 and DCP2), the aim of the third edition (DCP3) is to influence program design and resource allocation at global and country levels by providing an up-to-date comprehensive review of the effectiveness of priority health interventions. It presents systematic and comparable economic evaluations of selected interventions, delivery platforms, and policies based on newly developed economic methods. DCP3 further expands on the scope of intervention assessments found in DCP1 and DCP2 by presenting findings in nine individual volumes. It is clear that optimal global health programming requires a comprehensive evidence-base to help determine what works, what does not, how much it will cost. DCP3 will allow users to set global and national priorities for health in an informed manner. "With a foreword by Agnes Binagwaho"--Cover.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Cancer identifies effective, cost-effective, feasible, and affordable interventions to address the growing cancer burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Most tobacco- and infection-related cancers can be prevented. Many cancers can be treated. Cancer reviews key issues in the expansion of cancer services in LMICs, combining economic and epidemiological analyses. Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, in the foreword, observes, 'The work of discovering and testing approaches to treatment has produced tangible results, evident in cancer trends in high-income countries. The challenge of this Disease Control Priorities volume on cancer is to extend the benefit to the rest of the world.'

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The substantial burden of death and disability that results from interpersonal violence, road traffic injuries, unintentional injuries, occupational health risks, air pollution, climate change, and inadequate water and sanitation falls disproportionally on low- and middle-income countries. Injury Prevention and Environmental Health addresses the risk factors and presents updated data on the burden, as well as economic analyses of platforms and packages for delivering cost-effective and feasible interventions in these settings. The volume's contributors demonstrate that implementation of a range of prevention strategies-presented in an essential package of interventions and policies-could achieve a convergence in death and disability rates that would avert more than 7.5 million deaths a year. Address topics such as interpersonal violence, water and sanitation, global warming, road traffic injury, unintentional injury, priorities for environmental health and injury control, and policy implications for addressing these conditions.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed.This volume summarises current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs. Non-communicable diseases are the largest contributor to premature morbidity and mortality globally. This volume reviews the health and economic burden of such diseases, and effective and feasible options for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scaleable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasising the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritising actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence. The Child and Adolescent Health volume discusses childhood chronic illnesses, chronic malnutrition, and cognitive development. It seeks to evolve beyond the acute and severe conditions traditionally addressed under the rubric of child health, and give emphasis to the longer run consequences of chronic conditions.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases.Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases.The volume emphasises the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings. The HIV/AIDS, STIs, TB and Malaria volume explores the cost-effectiveness of prevention, treatment, and management of major infectious diseases endemic in low-resource settings. Treatment as disease prevention, specialised health delivery platforms for certain populations, balancing access to TB prevention and treatment, and malaria elimination are among the topics highlighted.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Third Edition. Volume  3,  Cancer,  presents  the  complex  patterns  of  cancer  incidence  and death around the world and evidence on effective and cost-effective ways to control cancers. The DCP3 evaluation of cancer will indicate where cancer treatment  is  ineffective  and  wasteful,  and  offer  alternative  cancer  care packages that are cost-effective and suited to low-resource settings. Main messages from the volume include:Quality matters in all aspects of cancer treatment and palliation.Cancer registries that track incidence, mortality, and survival, paired with systems to capture causes of death are important to understanding the national cancer burden and the effect of interventions over  time.Effective  interventions  exist  at  a  range  of  prices.  Adopting "resource appropriate" measures which allow the most effective treatment for  the  greatest  number  of  people  will  be  advantageous to countries.Prioritizing resources toward early stage and curable cancers is likely to have the greatest health impact in low income settings.Research prioritization is no longer just a global responsibility.Providing cancer treatment requires adequate  numbers  of  trained healthcare  professionals  and  infrastructure beyond  what  is  available  in  most  LMICs,  especially  low  income  countries. Careful patient monitoring is a requirement of good quality cancer care and this often involves laboratory tests in addition to clinical examination. Even if financing were immediately available to build or expand a cancer control system, reaching capacity will take many years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Third Edition. DCP3 will consist of nine separate volumes: eight will focus on a specific disease cluster or population, and the ninth will be an overview with main findings and conclusions about achieving health priorities. Each volume will contain contributions from prominent scholars and practitioners in the field. Similar to the first and second editions of Disease Control Priorities, DCP3 will include an up-to-date comprehensive review of the efficacy and effectiveness of priority health interventions with the goal of influencing program design and resource allocation at global and country levels. In addition, DCP3 volumes will present systematic and comparable economic evaluation of selected interventions, delivery platforms, and policies, based on new analytical methods being developed specifically for DCPN. The comprehensive economic evaluation will incorporate evidence on intervention quality and uptake, along with non-health outcomes such as equity and financial protection.Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health is part of a nine volume series for Disease Control Priorities which focuses on health interventions intended to reduce morbidity and mortality. This volume focuses on the need for family planning, preventive care and public health platforms in order to improve reproductive health of pregnant women. Financial care for women and children is also discussed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Third Edition. As the culminating volume in the DCP3 series, Volume 9 will provide an overview of DCP3 findings and methods, a summary of messages and substantive lessons to be taken from DCP3, and a further discussion of cross-cutting and synthesizing topics across the first eight volumes. The introductory chapters (1-3) in this volume take as their starting point the elements of the Essential Packages presented in the overview chapters of each volume. First, the chapter on intersectoral policy priorities for health includes fiscal and intersectoral policies and assembles a subset of the population policies and applies strict criteria for a low-income setting in order to propose a "highest-priority" essential package. Second, the chapter on packages of care and delivery platforms for universal health coverage (UHC) includes health sector interventions, primarily clinical and public health services, and uses the same approach to propose a highest priority package of interventions and policies that meet similar criteria, provides cost estimates, and describes a pathway to UHC.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Third Edition. The evaluation of essential surgery by Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (DCP3) focuses on a set of conditions that are primarily or extensively treated by surgery and: that have a large public health burden; for which there is a surgical procedure that is highly successful at treating the condition; and for which the surgical procedure is cost-effective and feasible to promote globally. This included injuries, obstetrical complications, abdominal emergencies, cataracts, obstetric fistula, and congenital anomalies, among others.The DCP3 evaluation of these conditions produced four key findings:There is a significant burden of death and disability from conditions that require surgical care.Many essential surgical services are among the most cost-effective of all health interventions.Human and physical resources to provide surgical care are at very low levels, especially in low-income countries and in rural areas.Critical indicators of quality, such as perioperative mortality rates and anaesthesia-related deaths, continue to show huge disparities between low- and middle-income countries and high-income countries and even among countries at same economic levels. Quality can be improved by feasible and affordable measures.Modest investments in improving capacity for delivering these essential surgical services on the part of both national governments and the international community would significantly lower the sizable burden of the global health problems that are treatable with surgery.
