It is now forty years since 134 countries, 67 international organisations including NGOs (Non- governmental organisations) met at an innovative three-day conference, to agree on the best approach to improve global health (WHO 1978). The Alma Ata Declaration called for global commitments to achieving Health for All by the year 2000. It was based on the principles of equity and community participation in health planning and policy making, through an intersectoral approach. As stakeholders prepare to meet in Astana in Octber, to agree on the new Global Health Declaration, we must reflect on lessons learned in the last 40 years to ensure that we can achieve Health for all by the year 2030.
