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.
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.
