Health For All?

Despite medical advances, equality of health across the globe is still a distant dream

Despite medical advances, equality of health across the globe is still a distant dream. In 1977 the World Health Organisation unveiled the Health for All programme. Yet with just over a decade to the new millennium, millions of children die of treatable diseases which can be prevented with a simple vaccine. Also in the programme, in Western society AIDS, heart disease, cancer and the quality of life in old age are other challenges discussed by the panel.

This is a programme from the 大象传媒 World Service Archive and was originally broadcast in 1989.
