Outcomes From Implementing This Framework

We believe that implementing this framework is essential for preventing deaths and suffering from emerging infectious diseases. It will be an important contribution to achieving CDC’s Health protection Goals of Healthy People in Every stage of Life, Healthy People in Healthy Places, People Prepared for Emerging Health Threats, and Healthy People in a Healthy World.

As a result of implementing this framework, NCZVED will contribute substantially to the following outcomes.

For Individuals

• Information that people can use to keep themselves and their families safer from microbial threats
• Security in knowing that their food and water will not make them sick from infectious organisms

For Communities, Local Governments, and State Governments

• Evidence-based guidance, data, and predictive modeling to help in developing policies and programs for prevention of infectious diseases
• Increased capacity to protect people from infectious diseases

For the United States

• Improved health through prevention and control of infectious diseases
• Less infectious disease and outbreaks from domestically produced and imported foods and products, resulting in benefits for industry and consumers

For the World

• Improved health through prevention and control of infectious diseases
• Fewer disruptions in commerce as a result of infectious diseases
• Increased prosperity and political stability of countries through improved health status of their populations

We look forward to working with our partners to usher in a new era in confronting infectious diseases.
