Abstract

The major achievements of the conference included the setting for the first time of targets of reduction of mortality in all the countries of the world, particularly were levels of mortality were highest like in developing areas of Africa. These targets are contalned in a document that has come to be known as the World population plan of action, WPPA. It is this WPPA which defined the goals to reduce morbidity and mortality to a maximum feasible extent possible in conjunction with provision of massive social and economic development.
