Optimizing Intervention Portfolios to Achieve Global Health Goals
Optimizing intervention portfolios is crucial as the global health community strives to further reduce the burden of disease. Interventions are numerous and evolving; however, resources are limited. We must choose wisely for local needs and implement well.
Join us for this colloquium, with experts, policy makers, researchers, and trainees. We will discuss economic concepts and tools to develop locally optimal intervention portfolios and maximize intervention effectiveness and efficiency. We will examine the interface of program scale-up, implementation enhancement, monitoring, and quality. Our speakers and panel discussions will tackle questions like:
- What do we mean by an optimal intervention portfolio?
- How does cost-effectiveness analysis inform portfolios?
- What is the role of improving quality and streamlining delivery?
- Can we generalize across geographic settings?
- How do universal health care plans select interventions to cover?
- How can we best support political leaders and decision-makers in pursuing major health gains?
