MMS Bulletin 111/February 2009
The Declaration of Alma Ata and the concept of primary health care that it propagates are a key point of reference for most of organizations working in healthcare provision. The just published Bulletin of Medicus Mundi Switzerland collects contributions from a conference, which took place last November in Basle. It is an important Reader, which discuses central issues of international health policy and experiences of international health cooperation.
Among others you find the following contributions:
Eduardo Missoni, Università Commerciale "Luigi Bocconi" of Milan; Italian Global Health Watch: A long way back towards Health for All. Evolution of Global health policies since the Alma Ata
