In 1978, the world was put on notice: health inequalities exacerbated by lack of access to essential services was a ticking time bomb threatening social and economic development everywhere. That year, over 100 countries signed on to the Declaration of Alma-Ata, which affirmed that "health . . . a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, is a fundamental human right." To guarantee this right, governments were urged to prioritize the provision of quality, continuous, comprehensive and affordable primary care for their entire populations by the year 2000.
1978年，全世界都收到了警示：因无法获得基本服务而加剧的健康不平等是一颗定时炸弹，威胁着各地的社会和经济发展。同年，100多个国家签署了《阿拉木图宣言》，该宣言确认“健康……是一种身体、心理和社会的完全良好状态，而不仅仅是没有疾病或虚弱，是一项基本人权”。为保障这一权利，敦促各国政府在2000年前优先为全体民众提供优质、持续、全面且负担得起的初级保健服务。
