- Title
En busca de la atención primaria de salud y la salud para todos: reflexiones de una búsqueda.

- Abstract
Primary Health Care (PHC) still represents the biggest international effort by countries to reach health worldwide; the approach and needs to be assumed are still valid 30 years after the International Conference of Alma-Ata 1978. The struggle to achieve Health for All and its strategies are long and convoluted. It does not start in Alma Ata as it appears in most of the texts, but most stunning is that most pioneers of PHC are ignored in the most cited PHC documents. The new generations of health professionals and workers do not know about people such as Henry Sigerist, Salvador Allende, Gustavo Molina, Sidney Kark, Franco Basaglia, Cesar Uribe Piedrahita, Hector Abad or Santiago Rengifo. Retrieving the names of people who fought is very important today for the Colombian public health.
