Maintaining the health-for-all momentum.

The efficiency and effectiveness of the health-for-all strategy have been judged largely by the results achieved in the developing countries. Assessments of progress have, for the most part, failed to take account of the slowness of advances previously made in the developed countries, and to allow for the fact that health services develop in parallel with teaching institutions and other bodies. In most African countries the whole process has been hindered by worsening economic, social and legal conditions. In considering how the momentum of the health-for-all strategy may be maintained, this article argues against undue bias towards the profit motive, which could lead to many people having access to only second-class services.
