Abstract
During the postwar reconstruction period every country was proud of its particular health care system and equated its growth with progress. It was only at the beginning of the past decade that the suspicion was heard that health care investment at the present magnitude might not continue to bring the desired health yield and, indeed, might not continue to be financable. This situation, which eventually reached crisis dimensions in several developing countries, led the World Health Organization to take a critical look at its overall policy and to propagate the worldwide goal of health for all by the year 2000 (HFA2000).
