Prioritized diseases is a legal/government term that describes certain pathological conditions (diseases) that are more important to be assessed, addressed and contained (prioritized).

Often these are diseases with significant pandemic potentials (such as H5N1 or H7N9 influenza), bioterrorism potential (anthrax, small pox) or the potential to cause widespread morbidity and mortality (MDR-TB, antiviral resistent HIV).
