The Alma Ata declaration revolutionized the parameters by which primary care had been guided until then. Since 1978, international guidelines for health care were finally set, with a comprehensive, universal vision, with criteria of equity and efficiency, and all this went through good primary care that could respond to 85% of the problems population health.

In addition to reviewing what has been achieved since 1978, the conference will serve to devote special attention to the role played by primary care in the face of two health problems that have not yet been resolved: tuberculosis and AIDS.

To address these issues, Dr. Ignacio Monedero Recuero, international consultant for the International Union Against Tuberculosis, UICT, and Dr. Rosa Polo, from the National Plan on AIDS of the Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare, have been invited to contribute their vision on the advances, challenges and challenges of the last 40 years and the present with regard to the two diseases. Visions that will provide material to deal with in a later debate that will put an end to the day.
