Return on Prevention - Cost-benefit analysis of prevention measures

Description du produit

This study evidences how the benefits of implementing a travel health prevention strategy significantly outweigh the operating costs. Two specific programmes have been analysed: • A medical-check for travellers and international assignees aimed at identifying pre-existing medical issues before assigning employees to a foreign country, ensuring that employees are fit-to-work for the proposed assignment, work conditions and identifying general and work-related health problems before expatriation. • A malaria prevention programme aimed at employees travelling and working in malaria-risk regions. Employees are given information before departure; receive prophylaxis medication and other technical protection means such as mosquito-nets, insecticide sprays and repellents as well as a malaria curative kit. The cost-benefit analysis showed that US$ 1 invested in the medical check programme, returns a benefit ranging from US$ 1,6 (minimum scenario) to US$ 2,53 (maximum scenario) (as detailed in section 7.4.2). The malaria prevention programme reduced the occurrence of fatal cases by 70%. The benefits also outweigh the costs in the case of this programme: For each US$ 1 invested, the payback was estimated at US$ 1,34 (as detailed in section 7.4.3).
