In 1968, Wilson and Jungner of the World Health Organisation developed ten principles which should govern a national screening programme.
These are:
1 ) The condition is an important health problem.
2 ) Its natural history is well understood.
3 ) It is recognisable at an early stage.
4 ) Treatment is better at an early stage.
5 ) A suitable test exists.
6 ) An acceptable test exists.
7 ) Adequate facilities exist to cope with abnormalities detected.
8 ) Screening is done at repeated intervals when the onset is insidious.
9 ) The chance of harm is less than the chance of benefit.
10) The cost is balanced against benefit.
