Summary
Estimating disease-related economic damage is crucial for public health solutions. This study introduces a framework to quantify the relative damage diseases inflict on national economies, regions, and businesses.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Economics
Context:
- Population health requires understanding economic impacts of diseases.
- Existing economic burden assessments may lack comprehensive disease-specific damage metrics.
Purpose:
- To introduce and structure a concept of "Relative damage to national economy caused by disease."
- To establish a methodology for quantifying disease-related economic damage at regional and enterprise levels.
Summary:
- A novel concept, "Relative damage to national economy caused by disease," has been formulated.
- The study outlines the structure of this concept and determines its extent within specific economic contexts (region, enterprise).
Impact:
- Provides a framework for assessing the economic burden of diseases.
- Supports evidence-based public health policy and resource allocation decisions.
