The 50th anniversary of the World Health Organization on 7th April 1998 stands at the dawn of a new century and millennium. These symbolic markers encourage reflection on past achievements, scrutiny of current problems, and contemplation of the possibilities and practicalities of coordinated action to promote the global vision of 'Health For All'. Will that global vision remain inspirational, important and inclusive enough to sustain policy commitment, and unite diverse regional, national and local customs and traditions in ethics, human rights and laws so as to overcome inequities in health status, and improve health systems and health services?"
1998年4月7日世界卫生组织成立50周年之际，正值新世纪和新千年的开端。这些具有象征意义的时间节点促使人们回顾过去的成就，审视当前的问题，并思考采取协调行动以推动“人人享有健康”这一全球愿景的可能性和实际操作。这一全球愿景是否仍具有足够的启发性、重要性和包容性，以维持政策承诺，并在伦理、人权和法律方面将不同的区域、国家和地方习俗与传统统一起来，从而消除健康状况方面的不平等现象，并改善卫生系统和卫生服务？
