[The function of the universities in strategies of health for all. Contribution to human development and social justice].
This was the working document of the Technical Discussions held in the Thirty-seventh World Health Assembly (1984). It represents a new dimension of activity in the World Health Organization and is one of a series of actions being taken to focus attention on the enormous influence that universities can exert on the effectiveness of health care in the different situations and settings found in the world. The document takes cognizance of the diversity of form, nature, purposes and functions among institutions of higher learning in different societies and no attempt is made to see similarities where none exist. It examines the functional relations between these institutions and their governments and communities in the health for all context in light of the basic imperatives of human development and social justice. The document was produced by a special group formed to consider the subject and made up of more than a dozen health and academic authorities from different universities in all parts of the world. WHO is indebted to them for their contribution to placing these issues in truly worldwide perspective.
