Social determinants of health ... WHO called to return to the Declaration of Alma-Ata
Alma-Ata International conference on primary health care 1978
The Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 emerged as a major milestone of the twentieth century in the field of public health, and it identified primary health care as the key to the attainment of the goal of Health for All. The following are excerpts from the Declaration:
() ... The Conference strongly reaffirms that health, which is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, is a fundamental human right and that the attainment of the highest possible level of health is a most important world-wide social goal whose realization requires the action of many other social and economic sectors in addition to the health sector.
() ... The existing gross inequality in the health status of the people, particularly between developed and developing countries as well as within countries, is politically, socially, and economically unacceptable and is, therefore, of common concern to all countries.
() ... The people have a right and duty to participate individually and collectively in the planning and implementation of their health care.
() ... Primary health care is essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound, and socially acceptable methods and technology made universally accessible to individuals and families in the community through their full participation and at a cost that the community and country can afford to maintain at every stage of their development in the spirit of self-reliance and self-determination. It forms an integral part both of the country's health system, of which it is the central function and main focus, and of the overall social and economic development of the community. It is the first level of contact of individuals, the family, and community with the national health system bringing health care as close as possible to where people live and work, and constitutes the first elements of a continuing health care process.
() ... An acceptable level of health for all the people of the world by the year 2000 can be attained through a fuller and better use of the world's resources, a considerable part of which is now spent on armaments and military conflicts. A genuine policy of independence, peace, détente, and disarmament could and should release additional resources that could well be devoted to peaceful aims and in particular to the acceleration of social and economic development of which primary health care, as an essential part, should be allotted its proper share.

Note the Alma-Ata health conference took place in 1978 calling for results by the year 2000. In 2000 the UN (and the whole of the development asssistance community) diverted attention from the poor performance of the prior 22 years by initiating the Millennial Development Goals (MDGs) that started off as if there had been no development assistance experience during the prior decades.

WBG-Report: Climate-Smart Healthcare Low-Carbon and Resilience Strategies for the Health Sector
From the Forward: Climate change is a risk multiplier that threatens to unravel decades of development gains. Among the most critical and direct risks to humans is the impact of climate change on health. Heat stress will worsen as high temperatures become more common and water scarcity increases; malnutrition, particularly in children, could become more prevalent in some parts of the world where droughts are expected to become more frequent; and water- and vector-borne diseases are likely to expand in range as conditions favor mosquitoes, flies, and water-borne pathogens. Worse still, these threats will be greatest in regions where the population is most dense, most vulnerable, and least equipped to adapt, pushing more people in poverty and reinforcing a cycle of environmental degradation, poor health and slow development.

Data Quality Review Methodology (DQR)
Data Quality Review (DQR)
This toolkit is the result of collaboration between the World Health Organization (WHO), The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/MEASURE Evaluation. The toolkit proposes a unified approach to data quality. It integrates and builds upon previous and current tools and methods designed to assess data quality at facility level, taking into account best practices and lessons learned from many countries.
Table 1.1 Recommended core indicators for the DQR
Recommended DQR indicators
Programme area Abbreviated name Indicator name
Maternal health Antenatal care coverage, 1st visit (ANC1) Number and % of pregnant women who attended at least once during their pregnancy
Immunization DTP3/Penta3 coverage Number and % of children < 1 year receiving three doses of DTP/Penta vaccine
HIV Currently on ART Number and % of people living with HIV who are currently receiving ART
TB TB notification rate Number of new and relapse cases of TB that are notified per 100 000 population
Malaria Confirmed malaria cases1 Confirmed malaria cases (microscopy or RDT) per 1000 persons per year

THE ISSUE OF HEALTHCARE
From the Burgess Book on ISSUES

Issue
Health
Basic observation
Health has been a priority sector within the ORDA world, but it is costly and does not generate economic progress on its own. Some health initiatives have had a very good impact. Health is a good PART of a comprehensive plan for development
Prevailing response
Health continues to be a priority, but it has not been integrated into a total development framework, and now there is widespread un-sustainability of public health services without significant external funding. The issue is now a crisis because of the impact of HIV-AIDS, and other diseases like malaria and TB
A better response
Health needs to be a priority, but it should be integrated into the community development planning so that local resources can be used to the maximum, and not assumed to be funded by government or donors. Good health is a precondition for productive employment and therefore important.
