Declaración de Alma-Ata

The Declaración de Alma-Ata, adopted in 1978, is an important global health agreement that emphasizes health as a fundamental human right. It advocates for primary health care based on community participation, affordability, and prevention rather than just treatment. The declaration calls for governments worldwide to invest in accessible, equitable, and comprehensive health services, tailored to the needs of their populations. Its goal is to promote health equity and ensure everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life, especially in underserved areas.
