Call for comments on WHO Draft Declaration on Primary Health Care

The World Health Organization (WHO) has invited the public to comment on the updated draft of the “Astana Declaration on Primary Health Care: From Alma-Ata towards Universal Health Coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals”. WONCA would like to make an official organisational response to this latest version of the declaration to be signed on the 40th anniversary of the Alma Ata declaration. 

We are happy that family doctors are actually specified as a discipline in the current version of the statement, but we want to make an organisational response as we see there is room for further improvement of the declaration. We have therefore prepared the following survey, which maps onto WHO’s consultation document, and we would like to invite your comments by 16th July 2018: https://goo.gl/forms/Q2LXi7WckN6q4CNE3
