Authors' recommendations:
Based on its findings, the study calls for:• Policies and knowledge exchange and dissemination to increase the uptake of existing means of preventing infectious diseases (e.g., vaccines, hand hygiene, and needle exchange programs).• Increased investment in developing new ways to fight infectious diseases (e.g., new vaccines and antibiotics). • Increased screening for diseases such as hepatitis B and C, in order to identify and support those already infected and thus help to minimize the long-term impact of thesediseases.• Improvements in data quality and availability.• Better infrastructure required for surveillance, research and program evaluation (which could be accomplished in many cases by better linkage of existing data).
