Alma-Ata 40th birthday celebrations and the Astana Declaration on Primary Health Care 2018

摘要

International governments, universities, and health and social care organisations celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Declaration in October 2018. Alma-Ata was a landmark global commitment to primary health care (PHC), which conceptualised health, not only as provision of biomedical care, but also emphasised the importance of social and economic factors. This anniversary has been marked with the publication of the Astana Declaration in Kazakhstan 25–26 October 2018, which will contribute to events next year supporting (UHC) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
