Introduction- The declaration of Alma-Ata had been developed at the International
Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978, and focused on the need for implementing urgent
action by different health workers, development workers, government and world community.

health behaviour (Quaglio et al. 2016). Likewise, I also so think that social development
encompass putting individuals at the centre of any development, and it includes a commitment
that would benefit all people and facilitate interaction between societies and Groups. Hence,
social development is also essential for reducing Healthcare between countries as it will help in
alleviating and preventing poverty in different nations, in relation to loss of income old age or
disability (Baum 2016).
I feel that a new international economic order is essential at this moment, since it will
focus on increasing development assistance, and enhancing tariff reduction in developed
countries. Presence of such an order will also ensure that the activities of different multinational
organisations are adequately operated and controlled within territories of developing and
developed countries (Rothstein 2015). This in turn would promote remunerative and equitable
