2008 in review: WHO 60th Anniversary
In 2008, the World Health Organization had a double celebration: its 60th anniversary and the 30th birthday of the Declaration of Alma-Ata on Primary Health Care, signed in 1978.
The World Health Report of 2008 was called “Primary Health Care: Now More Than Ever” and settled 4 “avenues” to be crossed in order to globalize and develop qualified and sustainable health systems: universal coverage reforms, service delivery reforms, public policy reforms and leadership reforms.
After such an important year as this, WHO has published a photo essay with the key public health issues to remark and to keep fostering the global consciousness regarding healthcare inequalities.
