Achieving health for all by the year 2000 : midway reports of country experiences

Explores the extent to which the principles of primary health care, mapped out at the Alma-ATA Conference in 1978, have had a real impact on health care in different parts of the world.

While acknowledging the importance of changes in health policy and the structure of services, the book makes a special effort to uncover what has actually happened in the human setting where both the ambitions of primary health care and the true measures of success reside.
