Health Systems : principled integrated care103 Chapter SevenHealth Systems :principled integrated careTo meet the formidable challenges described earlier, this chap-ter calls for the reinforcement of Health Systems to be basedon the core principles of primary Health care as outlined atAlma-Ata in 1978: universal access and coverage on the ba-sis of need; Health equity as part of development oriented tosocial justice; community participation in defining and imple-menting Health agendas; and intersectoral approaches tohealth.
Without this, the health goals described in this report will remain beyond reach. The lessons learnt from past successes, including the skills and strategies developed from the experiences of tackling polio and SARS, must be applied in combating the HIV/AIDS treatment emergency and in working towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
