• Description:
  This Supplement to the Bulletin of the World Health Organization presents the Proceedings of the Conference on Global Disease Elimination and Eradication as Public ; Health Strategies, which was held in Atlanta, GA, USA, on 23–25 February 1998. The Conference was co-sponsored by WHO and many national and international agencies ; (see Annex C). One of the co-sponsors, the Task Force for Child Survival and Development (TFCSD), also served as the Conference Secretariat. The Conference focused on ; two main objectives: to evaluate the role of elimination or eradication of diseases in the context of local and global health problems and sustainable health development; ; and to identify the specific conditions and diseases with the highest potential for elimination and eradication. This Conference was without precedent in terms of the broad ; expertise and stature of the invited participants and, perhaps more importantly, its aim to examine simultaneously the categories of noninfectious conditions, infectious ; diseases, and health systems, all in relation to the potential for global disease elimination and eradication.
