PREFACE Few of the UN conferences and summits of recent decades had as great impact as the World Conference on Primary Health Care organized by WHO and UNICEF in Alma-Ata, USSR, in 1978. Reconvening in Almaty (Alma-Ata), Kazakhstan, in December 1993 WHO and UNICEF reviewed the major achievements and future challenges in a follow-up meeting to guide and fulfil ancient strivings for a healthy future in the continuing search for a civil society and a sustainable environment. This meeting marking the fifteenth anniversary of Alma-Ata has a special place history of the Health for All movement. Now in the second half of 1990s, WHO is embarked on a Renewal of the Health for All Strategy, Based on the Principles of Equity and Solidarity. The intent is to carefully examine the concepts that emerged fiom Aha-Ata, the experiences that followed, and consider the unrealized possibilities that lie ahead. This effort is intended to lead to a major restatement of the Health for All Strategy. With this process in mind, the conference held in Alrnaty on the fifteenth anniversary had a special importance. It has provided precisely the kind of analysis needed to help this process of renewing the Health for All Strategy.
