5. Towards 2000: theWHO Targets
(西暦 2000 年: WHO の目標 )
In 1984 the European Region of the WHO drew up a strategy for
attaining 'Health for All by the Year 2000' and in 1985 issued detailed
targets to which the UK has agreed. Firstly, it acknowledged that there are
certain fundamental conditions which have to be met before any real
improvements can be made --- the prerequisites for health:
* freedom from the fear of war;
* equal opportunities for all;
* satisfaction of the basic needs for food, basic education, clean water
and sanitation, decent housing, secure work and a useful role in
society;
* political will and public support to launch the necessary action.
'Without peace and social justice, without enough food and water,
without education and decent housing, and without providing each and all
with a useful role in society and adequate income, there can be no health
for the people, no real growth and no social development' (WHO 1985).
