Terms of ReferenceThe notion of continuous progress in reducing premature death and improving the health status of people reached its maximum power in the late 1960s. The overall decrease in mortality seemed to be an indispensable consequence of economic development and all the nations and population groups were expected to follow (with time lags) the populations of Western Europe and North America. However, further studies of the 1980s and the 1990s have shown that many populations of the world are facing growing health problems and challenges resulting in significant deviation from a classical "normal" path of the health transition. Studies devoted to more important issues related to these problems and challenges can be considered as topics in the agenda of the EHT Committee. |
