One month after world leaders committed to redouble action on universal health coverage (UHC) at the United Nations General Assembly, 70 countries convened to step up primary health care investments by 2030.
The International Conference on “Primary health care policy and practice: implementing for better results” marked the 45th anniversary of the Declaration of Alma-Ata and 5th anniversary of the Declaration of Astana on primary health care. The conference, which brought together over 600 health policy-makers and partners from countries, took place in Kazakhstan—the birthplace of the historic primary health care (PHC) declarations. It was co-hosted by the Government of Kazakhstan, the World Health Organization (WHO), and UNICEF.
