Excerpt
The Seventh Report on the World Health Situation, covering the period 1978-1984, has been prepared on the basis of the first evaluation of the Strategy for Health for All in accordance with resolution WHA36.35 of the Thirty-sixth World Health Assembly. It is derived principally from the contributions of the Member States on the evaluation of their national strategies for the attainment of their goals. Where necessary, WHO'S Secretariat has made use of information from other sources, especially from programme reports and from documents of other organizations of the United Nations system. To assist Member States in collecting and analysing relevant information for their strategies, a common framework and format was used. A total of 147 Member States (88.6%) responded. The reports from individual countries were received by the WHO regional offices, and regional evaluation reports were reviewed by the regional committees in September/October 1985.`
