> In 1978, government ministers from 134 countries met in Alma Ata (now
> Almaty) to address the glaring health inequities around the world.   They
> created the Alma Ata Declaration, which declared the goal of achieving *"Health
> for All by 2000" through improving people's daily lives and bringing primary
> health care to all people.  *Today, the goal of "Health for All" remains
> incomplete.  Meanwhile,* the gap between the rich and the poor continues
> to grow.*
