This book provides a timely review on what has been accomplished,
and what remains amiss, following the World Health Organization’s
1978 ‘Health for All’ campaign, by identifying enduring gaps in
health care within a global context. The WHO declaration of "Health
for All by the Year 2000" mapped out a road towards primary health
care for all people and demarcated it as essential for human
progress in terms of economic development and social justice.
However, 45 years have gone by, and most societies and
countries have yet achieved 'health for all’, despite so much
having changed in technology, disease patterns, and population
demographics. In promoting community health and improving service
delivery, the book advocates the development and implementation of
“All For Health” strategies to steer stakeholders in the right
direction towards universal health care. The book covers the gaps
and actions in health improvements, the ‘All For Health’
strategies, and the Health in All Policies (HiAP), reviewing and
discussing issues through both Asian and international examples.
Contributors include both academics and practitioners from diverse
professional backgrounds including medicine, nursing, pharmacy,
allied health, dietetics, social sciences, life sciences,
education, business, administration, law, and public policy.
Essential to scholars in public health and related disciplines,
this book is also useful to policymakers, community and public
health practitioners, and health care executives and interns.
