Astana declaration
The famous Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 had 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.
As a follow-up to the Alma-Ata declaration, the Declaration of Astana which has just been published (25, 26 October 2018) includes palliative care as a part of primary health care for Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
