Abstract
Almost 40 years ago, WHO commissioned a report on screening from James Maxwell Glover Wilson, then Principal Medical Officer at the Ministry of Health in London, England, and Gunner Jungner, then Chief of the Clinical Chemistry Department of Sahlgrenâs Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. The report1, published in 1968, was entitled: Principles and practice of screening for disease and it has since become a public health classic.
