Director Quadrennial 1978 1981 Annual 1981 Health for All by the Year 2000 REPORTOF THE DIRECTOR QUADRENNIAL 1978 1981 ANNUAL 1981 HEALTH FOR ALL BY THE YEAR 2000 In 1977, the World Health Assembly decided that the main social target of the governments and of WHO should be the attainment by all people of the world by theyear 2000 of a level of health that would permit them to lead a socially and economically productive liJe, that is, the goal popularly known as "health Jor all by theyear 2000." In 1978 the International Conference on Primary Health Care (Alma-Ata, USSR) declared that, as a centralJfunction of the national health system and an integral part of economic and social devel- opment, primary health care was the key to achieving that goal. Subsequently, the governments com- mitted themselves-at the global level at the World Health Assembly, and at the regional level at meetings of the PAHO Governing Bodies-to implement the resolutions adoptedfor attaininghealth Jor all. In the Americas the high point of these mandates was reached on 28 September 1981 when the Directing Council of PAHO approved the Plan of Action Jor implementing the regional strategiesJfor health Jor all by theyear 2000. These strategies had been approved by the Directing Council in 1980 (Resolution XX) and today constitute the basis of PAHO 's policy andprogramming, and represent in addition the contribution of the Region of the Americas to the global strategies of WHO. The Plan of Action approved by the Directing Council contains the minimum goals and regional objectives, as well as the actions governments of the Americas and the Organization must take in order to attain health Jfor all. The Plan, continental in nature, is essentially dynamic and is addressed not only to current problems but also to those likely to ariseJrom the application of the strategies and the Julfillment of regional goals and objectives. It also defines priority areas that will serve as a basis, in developing the program and the necessary in/rastructure, Jor national and international action. The exchange and dissemination of information constitutes one of the priority areas of the Plan of Action. PAHO's publication program-including periodicals, scientific publications, and oJficial documents-is designed as a means of promoting the ideas contained in the Plan by disseminating data on policies, strategies, internationalcooperation programs, and progress achieved in collaboration with countries of the Americas in the process of attaining health Jor all by theyear 2000.

During its first three-quar- ters of a century PAHO slowly changed from an obscure international body without permanent staff whose sole interest lay in quarantinable diseases to a major international agency with representatives throughout the Western Hem- isphere executing dozens of important health programs. Despite its many accomplishments, however, PAHO shied away from clearly stating the logical ultimate goal of an organization of its kind: health for all. In the round its sometimes disjointed programs lacked that central focus and, in particular, its activities were not coordinated with those in sectors other than health. On the eve of the quadrennium which is the subject of this report new cur- rents became apparent in the thinking of health leaders in the Americas. Fore- most among them was a new willingness to accept that health for all must be PAHO's overriding objective. From that general premise they could then deduce those broad policies that would fulfill it: the urgent need to extend health serv- ices to the entire population, the predication of such services on primary care systems, the requirement that consumers be as involved as providers in health matters, the demand for technologies suited to local conditions, and more. Transforming the health-for-all goal and the general and specific policies underlying it into concrete realities was PAHO's quadrennial work. The first step was to analyze the successes and shortfalls of the Ten-Year Health Plan for the Americas which had occupied it and its member governments during the 1970s, for from the past come lessons for the future. That done-and the task was an arduous one-the countries then used those lessons to formulate strategies to provide their own citizens comprehensive health services by the end of the century and PAHO did likewise for the hemisphere as a whole. The result was a seminal document, Health for All by the Year 2000: Strategies, published at the end of 1980. Flowing from this publication was a still more specific Plan of Action drawn up during 1981 which fleshed out the Regional Strategies' broad precepts in careful detail. The quadrennium thus saw the construction of the framework within which PAHO's programs during the remainder of this century will be carried out. Its building required great thought

  • Multi Source- Ash Fallout Hazard Map in Western Caldas Department (Colombia)
    IAVCEI 2013 Scientific Assembly - July 20 - 24, Kagoshima, Japan Forecasting Volcanic Activity - Reading and translating the messages of nature for society 4W_4D-P2 Date/Time: July 24 Poster Multi source- ash fallout hazard map in western Caldas department (Colombia) Carlos Borrero1, Ana M. Garcia2, Hugo F. Murcia3, Carlos M. Jaramillo4 1Dept. of Geological Sciences, Caldas University, Manizales, Colombia, 2Consultant Geologist, Manizales, Colombia, 3The University of Auckland, School of Environment, Auckland, New Zealand, 4Consultant Geologist, Manizales, Colombia E-mail: [email protected] In order to prepare the emergency plans for management of volcanic risks for the western sector of Caldas department (Colombia), a regional scale evaluation of the ash fallout hazard was intended for Corpocaldas (department environmental agency). The regional and local stakeholders were interested in a unique scenario related to the co-existence of three different sources of ash, from north to south: Cerro Bravo, Nevado del Ruiz and Santa Isabel volcanoes, which are located at the Central Cordillera in middle Colombia, and they are part of the most northern volcanic complex of the Northern Volcanic Zone in South America. The background definition of the ash fallout hazard is quite variable for the different sources, the Cerro Bravo and Nevado del Ruiz volcanoes have geology-based hazard maps with variable age constraining of their events; and Santa Isabel volcano has only an UNDRO indicative hazard map without any age data. Actually, the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano is the only active of these three volcanoes since 1984. The recent 2012 activity of Nevado del Ruiz volcano showed a different dispersion of the ash fall from its former hazard map, due to the changes of wind direction by the restricted plume heights during the VEI 1 to 2 activities in 2012 the dispersion changed dramatically to N-NW and W directions affecting mainly the western zone of the Caldas department.

  • A NEW SPECIES of RIODINIDAE from COLOMBIA Forests At
    Juurnal of the Lepidopterists' SOciety 51(1), 1997,57- 61 A NEW SPECIES OF RIODINIDAE FROM COLOMBIA CURTIS J. CALLAGHAN Avenida Suba 130- 25, Casa 6, Bogota, Colombia AND JULIAN SALAZAR Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad de Caldas, AA.275, Manizales. Caldas. Colombia ABSTRACT, A new riodinid species, Calydna volcanicu8, from Cerro Aguacatal and Cerro Clavijo in the western department of Caldas. Colombia, is described and illus­ trated. Comments on its habitat and adult behavior are presented, with a list of other Ri­ odinidae found in the same habitat anu a range extension for Amphiselenis chama (Staudinger 1888). Additional key words: neotropical South America, coffee plantations. Forests at altitudes between 1300 and 2200 m in the Colombian An­ des are fertile for the discovery of new and interesting riodinid butter­ flies (Callaghan 1983, Salazar & Constantino 199~;, Salazar, 1993). An unusual habitat for riodinids described in this paper consists of coffee plantations, considered to be an example of extreme habitat alteration. In these situations, the original forest has been completely destroyed except for some of the taller trees that have been left to shade the cof­ fee. If insecticides have not been used extensively, this altered habitat can support a diverse fauna. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new species of Calydna, and present comments on the coffee zone habitat and some of the other riodinid species found there. The description is bascd on material col­ lected by J. Escobar at the localities noted below. Measurements were done with a caliper, and the genitalia were prepared by soaking in 10% KOH solution and examined under a binocular microscope.
