Informes anuales y cuadrienales del Director

This report is a presentation of accounts. Every four years, PAHO’s Member Governments meet at the Pan American Sanitary Conference to set hemispheric policy. Policy adopted by the Conference in 1994, in the form of Strategic and Programmatic Orientations, committed the Pan American Sanitary Bureau to concrete lines of action in health and human development, health systems and services development, health promotion and protection, environmental protection and development, and disease prevention and control. What we have accomplished in those areas is the story told in the pages that follow.

 Although there may well be modern versions of the concept of a good that might be at variance with Aristotle's, the view that health may be found among the goods to be created and nurtured by associations remains as one of our working hypotheses. Plus, health itself may lead to the formation of associations in particular spaces that, in turn, contribute to other equally desirable goods. (Official Document, © PAHO, 1996).

Charting a Future for Health in the Americas describes the work of the Pan American Health Organization in recent years. The report opens with a disquisition on the significance of its title—how PAHO has had, and will continue to need, to chart and steer a steady course, dealing with and even capitalizing on
changes along the way, in order to reach its goal: health in the Americas.
