From Alma Ata to Astana


(5 decades of (mis)understanding PHC)

Alma Ata PHC - Health


• Health (WHO):
– State of physical, mental
and social well-being
– Not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity
– Not just the availability of
health services
• “Healthy”
– State of well-being that
enables a person to lead a
socially and economically
productive life
• WEALTH is HEALTH!!!

“It is not possible to


provide health and
knowledge to a
malnourished people,
dressed in rags and
working under
merciless
exploitation.” –

the conditions that brought about
the illness in the first place?
