Abstract

Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to examine the impact of the Alma-Ata Declaration on global pediatric health disparities, highlighting the potential value of innovative research approaches such as intersectional quantitative studies in broadening our understanding of how the drivers of marginalization and social privilege intertwine to reinforce (or diminish each other) in the development of pediatric health disparity.

Recent findings: Despite the global reach of the Alma-Ata Declaration and decades of its implementation, pediatric health disparities persist, with poorer health outcomes and greater exposure to adverse social contexts borne by children living in low and middle income countries (LMICs).

Summary: This paper explores degree to which the Alma-Ata Declaration through its proxy pediatric policy, the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI), has been able to reduce global pediatric health disparities and suggests the use of intersectional analytical approaches as a means of addressing shortfalls in effectiveness of pediatric health policies.

阿拉木图宣言对全球儿科健康差异的影响：交叉视角。

综述目的：本综述的目的是研究《阿拉木图宣言》对全球儿科健康差距的影响，强调交叉性定量研究等创新研究方法的潜在价值，以扩大我们对边缘化和社会特权驱动因素如何相互交织，在儿童健康差距的发展中相互加强（或减少）的理解。最近的调查结果：尽管《阿拉木图宣言》已遍及全球，而且实施了数十年，但儿童健康方面的差距仍然存在，生活在低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的儿童健康结果较差，更容易受到不利社会环境的影响。摘要：本文探讨了阿拉木图宣言通过其代理儿科政策，即儿童疾病综合管理（IMCI），在多大程度上能够减少全球儿科健康差距，并建议使用交叉分析方法作为解决儿科健康政策有效性不足的一种手段。

期刊介绍： Current Tropical Medicine Reports provides expert views on recent advances in the field of tropical medicine in a clear and readable form. This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
