Abstract

Infectious diseases are still recognized as severe public health problems at present in China, especially in poor rural areas. Since the late 1970s, the changing social and economic contexts have encouraged the government to adopt legislative instruments rather than sole political command system in steering and administering infectious disease control programs. However, little is known about the effectiveness and costs of implementing regulatory activities in infectious disease control. This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of selected infectious disease control legislation and to estimate actual and required costs for implementing the regulation.[HEFP WP NO 03/03]
