The workshop's recommendations include incorporating these innovations into future regional and national NID safety workshops, using the pre-workshop survey as a baseline safety assessment tool, and creating an online repository of safety resources for national NID programs. The workshop underscored the importance of safety in NID programs and the need for ongoing improvements in training, supervision, and practice at all levels. By integrating these safety measures more deeply into national health systems, the workshop participants took important steps toward ensuring the safe and effective elimination of NIDs in the Americas.
