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."
