The Gambia provides an unusual opportunity for the application of cost analysis to health due to a relatively long history of immunization and recent empirical research. The results should apply not only to immunization programmes but also to a variety of types of primary health care in developing countries. In particular, well-based estimates of the cost per case averted and the cost per death prevented by alternative health interventions should prove to be of widespread interest and usefulness.
