Report
On the right site of this page you will find the
report of the symposium 'The Global Burden of
Foodborne Diseases - from data to action'.
This symposium marked the completion of the first estimates of the
global burden of foodborne diseases, a project initiated in 2006
and since 2007 and implemented by the Foodborne Epidemiology
Reference Group (FERG). Since then, hundreds of scientists have
collaborated with WHO to provide the building
blocks for these estimates.
