The theme for 2008 - Community Health and Wholeness - celebrates the unique and important role that faith-based organizations can play in providing quality health care at the community level, where they are often the only ones working. We will mark the 30th anniversary of the Alma Ata Declaration by taking a critical look at the track record of FBOs and the church with regard to serving the needs of communities and will discuss ways in which this service can be even more effective and appropriate in the future.
