International Journal of Neonatal Screening, Volume 11, Issue 3

September 2025 - 35 articles

Cover Story: Wilson and Jungner’s WHO monograph nr. 34: ‘Principles and Practice of Screening for Disease’ (PHP-34) and its ten screening principles have had a lasting influence on public health. Analysis of scientific literature reveals that many principles were already published in the US during the 15 years before PHP-34 appeared. Approximately 33% of the 145-page monograph was drawn from earlier works published between 1950 and 1965. The actual writing was likely performed by Wilson, though both Wilson and Jungner deserve credit. This historical analysis helps to explain why PHP-34 continues to be significant. Nearly 60 years after its publication, the screening principles continue to be discussed, reflected upon, and applied in modern public health practice. View this paper
