Astana Declaration Anniversary 2022

Feature Stories November 2022

October, 2022

In 1978, a pivotal conference was held in Almaty, Kazakhstan, bringing together health experts and world leaders to commit to health for all. Endorsed at that conference, the declaration formed the foundation for the last 40 years of global primary health care efforts.

The Global Conference on Primary Health Care in Astana, Kazakhstan in October 2018 endorsed a new declaration emphasizing the critical role of primary health care around the world. The declaration aims to refocus efforts on primary health care to ensure that everyone everywhere is able to enjoy the highest possible attainable standard of health.

WONCA was present at the Global Conference on Primary Health Care in Astana. Now, on its 4th anniversary, we launch a recognition campaign to raise awareness for this international declaration and commitments to PHC strengthening, reflecting on progress/difficulties in different countries and sharing the perspectives of the WONCA Young Doctors Movements.
