New Report Finds Rising Risk of Infectious Diseases in America
Date:10/29/2008

ucus. "As a leader in global health, our nation must be proactive and take the necessary steps to improve America's capacity to immediately respond to the healthcare needs of families, especially those with children, both here and abroad."

TFAH calls for improving America's capabilities to fight emerging infectious diseases through a well-funded federal effort, coordinated with international initiatives, to spur public-private breakthroughs in research, next-generation diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. The report features a series of recommendations, many of which reinforce those made by the Board on Global Health and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2003, including that the U.S. government should:

-- Partner with state and local governments to allocate the necessary

resources to build and sustain the nation's public health capacity

to respond to threats of bioterrorism and naturally occurring disease;

-- Further its leadership role to improve the global capacity to respond,

control, and eliminate infectious disease threats;

-- Enhance and promote the implementation of a comprehensive system of

surveillance for global infectious diseases;

-- Develop a comprehensive, multi-year, government-wide research agenda for

emerging infectious disease prevention and control in collaboration with

state and local public health partners, academia, and industry;

-- Recruit, retain, and train public health professionals capable of

identifying, verifying, preventing, controlling, and treating emerging

infectious diseases.

The report was supported by a grant from the de Beaumont Foundation.

Trust for America's Health is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to saving lives by protecting the health of every community and working to make disease prevention a national priority.
