ANS: D
The major key to attaining Health for All by the Year 2000 was the worldwide implementation of primary health care; this has extended into the next century with the document HEALTH21. The World Health Assembly in 1977 stated that all citizens of the world should enjoy a level of health that would permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life. Curing communicable disease, technological developments of all nations, and availability of health care insurance are not part of the key strategies to achieve the goals of HEALTH21.
