Primary health care is in crisis. It is underdeveloped in many countries, underfunded in others, and facing a severe workforce recruitment and retention challenge. Half the world's population has no access to the most essential health services. Yet 80–90% of people's health needs across their lifetime can be provided within a primary health-care framework—from maternity care and disease prevention through vaccination, to management of chronic conditions and palliative care. As populations age, and multimorbidity becomes the norm, the role of primary health-care workers becomes ever more important.

阿斯塔纳宣言：初级卫生保健的未来？

初级卫生保健处于危机中。在许多国家，这是不发达的，在其他国家中，则是资金不足的，并且面临着严重的劳动力招聘和保留挑战。世界一半的人口无法获得最基本的医疗服务。然而，可以在一个基本的医疗保健框架中满足人们一生中80-90％的健康需求，从生育保健和通过疫苗接种预防疾病，到慢性病和姑息治疗的管理。随着人口的老龄化和多发病成为常态，初级卫生保健工作者的作用变得越来越重要。
