As DELEGATES to the PEOPLE'S CONGRESS, elected
directly and democratically by a trans national electorate,
spread over 110 countries
WE RECORD FORMALLY:
- The 10 points of the September 12, 1973 declaration
adopted by the International WHO Alma- Ata Conference on
Primary Health Care
NOTICING:
- That every human being has the right in the existing
conditions of the group he belongs to, to perfect
physical and mental harmony, called health
CONVINCED:
- That the effective and general recognition of this
right supported by planetary solidarity, required by the
present situation, implies on the part of the states the
sacrifice of part of their sovereignty to the benefit of
the world community
WE AFFIRM:
- That the right to health is fundamental that its
enjoyment must be equally warranted to all humans
- That this right has in balance the duty for the
individual and the group to practice hygiene and to
submit to preventive and curative medicine
- That the right and the duty concerning health must be
protected through the political involvement of
governments providing training and the organisation of
public health education. Those policies should take in
account the beliefs and the particular value system of
the group, if individual physical and mental integrity
are taking care of.
WE DEPLORE:
- That the respect of the States absolute sovereignty
prevents WHO from processing information about the health
state of some designated countries
WE REQUEST consequently:
- That every national health policy be able to find in
a World Health Institution, with real and well defined
powers, support and control services that warranty its
development and protection towards the financial
interests and political outside interventions
