Abstract:
2018 witnessed the 40th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Declaration. On October 25, 2018, the World Health Organization issued a new Astana Declaration, which reiterates and further develops the concept and core elements of primary health care. It is also proposes that the implementation of the primary health care concept will facilitate to cope with the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases in different countries. Based on the analysis on the policies and practices of the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases in China, this paper points out that the "government-leading, multi-sectoral collaboration, social mobilization and participation by all people" which we have always emphasized is just the application of this primary health care concept, and the Astana Declaration also brings a new and important inspiration to the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases in China.
