| Resumen: |
This paper identifies key priorities for the control of infectious disease, injury and
reproductive problems for the Copenhagen Consensus 2012 (CC12). It draws directly upon the disease control paper (Jamison, Bloom and Jha, 2008) from Copenhagen Consensus 2008 and the AIDS vaccine paper for the Copenhagen Consensus Rethink HIV project (Hecht and
Jamison, 2011). This paper updates the evidence and adjusts the conclusions of the previous
work in light of subsequent research and experience. For CC12 noncommunicable diseases are being treated in a separate paper (Jha, Nugent, Verguet, Bloom and Hum, 2012) that
complements this one.
All these papers build on the results of the Disease Control Priorities Project (DCPP).6
The DCPP engaged over 350 authors and estimated the cost-effectiveness of 315 interventions.
These estimates vary a good deal in their thoroughness and in the extent to which they provide regionally-specific estimates of both cost and effectiveness. Taken as a whole, however, they represent a comprehensive canvas of disease control opportunities.7 We will combine this body of knowledge with the results from research and operational experience in the subsequent four years.
