Incorporating sustainability in epidemiological interventions is crucial for several reasons:
- Resource Efficiency: Sustainable interventions ensure optimal use of resources, which is essential in low-resource settings. - Long-term Impact: Achieving long-term health benefits without overexploiting resources. - Environmental Health: Reducing the environmental footprint of health interventions can prevent further health issues related to environmental degradation. - Equity: Ensuring that interventions are accessible and beneficial to all population groups, particularly the vulnerable.
