Overview

The baseline situation analysis (BSA) is intended to inform the development of the global roadmap Defeating meningitis by 2030 and to provide a sound basis to inform its key priorities.

Content:

• Summary of global and regional burden of meningitis.
• Main elements of current public-health policies and practice, as well as research and development (R&D) landscape for meningitis and its sequelae, covering prevention and epidemic control, diagnosis and treatment, surveillance, support and after-care, advocacy and information.
• Barriers to implementation of public-health policies or to R&D.
• Main gaps in policy implementation, knowledge and R&D, in terms of where we are and where we want to be (where we want to be may well be a desired situation beyond current recommended practice).
