2.  Human health improved dramatically during
the last century, yet grave inequities in health
persist. To make further progress in health,
meet new challenges, and redress inequities,
resources must be deployed effectively. This
requires knowledge about which
interventions actually work, information
about how much they cost, and experience
with their implementation and delivery

3.  Cost-effectiveness analysis is a method for assessing the
gains in health relative to the costs of different health
interventions.
 It is not the only criterion for deciding how to allocate
resources, but it is an important one, because it directly
relates the financial and scientific implications of different
interventions.
 The basic calculation involves dividing the cost of an
intervention in monetary units by the expected health gain
measured in natural units such as number of lives saved.
