Abstract:
Video focuses on the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in combating disease, beginning with an overview of how disease has afflicted and shaped human civilization. It mentions the unsuccessful effort to stamp out malaria, and WHO's succesful campaign to eradicate smallpox. The 1978 Declaration of Alma-Ata, which set a goal of health for all by the year 2000, is discussed, along with WHO's vision of community-based cadres of health care workers delivering primary care to underserved populations. The benefits and drawbacks of technology such as nuclear power, and general inequalities in health between wealthier and poorer regions are mentioned. The video describes the grave new threat of AIDS and the need for an organized effort to halt it.
