Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) delivered a definite report on the winnable battles agenda. It is an achievement to create the greatest health strike for the majority of Americans in a brief period of time.

Winnable Battles happens in seven risks to U.S. community health. It is where combined work with teammates might create an instant power. These are the important aspects to be considered: tobacco, nutrition, physical activity and obesity, food safety, healthcare-associated infections, motor vehicle safety, teenage pregnancy, and HIV as per the CBS reports.

CDC earned improvement in lifting the health load from the intended illnesses and its surroundings.

According to CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H, "the approach to winnable battles is all about responsibility. It is all about setting goals, cooperating with the team and aiming high standard of health improvement.

"The past six years show that with focus and commitment, we can win battles against the most important health problems Americans face every day."

With many works to be done, the Americans will still live longer with better health status and there will be no costly and painful illnesses anymore. These are due to the excellent efforts of CDC health practitioners and with the cooperation of the federal, state and local-level health care facilities, Frieden added.

The program was established in 2010, when there's an improvement on some community health issues, like smoking and other health trials like teenage pregnancy.

CDC may operate with teammates to initiate restricted challenges or hasten health concerns that are improving. To attain success, CDC may follow latest techniques with winnable battles. The overall result of the winnable battles can be viewed on the website of CDC

Fulfillment in some of the winnable battles reached or surpassed the objectives set in 2010. Improvement in other domains was intermediate, and some had a small or no improvement at all.
