Health crisis 2000

Résumé fourni par la source

The title of my last article for Family Practice was Health for All by the Year 2000'. As we enter the last two decades of the 20th Century, I take as my new theme the disturbing title of a book by Peter O'Neil which I commend to all 'Health Crisis 2000'. It is with pride that I can say to you that the Academy has seen that crisis approaching for many years. Though it is written under the auspices of the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe, its theme is just as meaningful here, maybe even more so. The WHO warns that there could be a health crisis by the year 2000 unless radical steps are taken by the public, the professions, industry and governments. This is no idle warning. A careful analysis of trends in health and disease has shown signs that health policies have set us on a dangerous course.
