Summary
The Western Pacificc Regional Strategy for Health Systems Based on the Values of Primary Health Care provides guidance that may assist national decision-makers overseeing the design and implementation of health systems adapted to their particular situations.
The people of the Western Pacific Region deserve to live their lives in the highest state of health possible. While there can be no guarantee of individual health, all people have a right to quality health services that are available, accessible, affordable and acceptable.
The four goals of a health system are:
(1) health, both the absolute level across the entire population and equity across socioeconomic groups;
(2) social and ?nancial risk protection in health;
(3) responsiveness and people-centredness;
(4) efficiency.
