Global healthcare for the 21st century and beyond

MacVane Phipps, Fiona Ellen

Abstract

Despite the Alma-Ata goal of acceptable health care for all by the year 2000, gross inequalities continue to condemn the world’s poorer and disadvantaged citizens to inadequate levels of health and health care. Articles in this issue describe important history, cultural influences and political events leading to this disparity, as well as current challenges and model programmes that inform our path forward.
