Alma Ata is still in force in those experiences of comprehensive health care from all and for all that some countries have managed to implement, especially in the rural areas with populations affected by exclusion and poverty. Peru has several of them that find their roots in experiences previous to the 1978 Conference. It is interesting to confirm that many of these were initially dedicated to the care of pregnant women and newborns, and then they have translated their lessons learned to the care of the whole population.
Alma Ata sigue vigente en aquellas experiencias de Cuidado Integral de la Salud por todos y para todos que algunos países han logrado implementar, sobre todo en zonas rurales con poblaciones afectadas por la exclusión y la pobreza. El Perú detenta varias de ellas, que incluso encuentran sus raíces en experiencias previas a la Conferencia de 1978. Es interesante confirmar que muchas de estas se abocaron primero a la atención de las gestantes y recién nacidos, y luego han trasladado sus lecciones aprendidas al cuidado de toda la población.
