The study, published in Nature, aimed to identify the consensus view among experts by using the Delphi technique, which involves a series of consultations, allowing those consulted to reconsider their views based on the earlier, anonymised responses of their peers.
The 57 recommendations that emerged encompass six major areas: communications, health systems, vaccination, prevention, treatment and care, and inequities. The recommendations – endorsed by 150 organisations around the world – are directed at governments, health systems, industry, and other key stakeholders.
