Abstract
In recognition of this, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has drawn up a charter—adopted last week by the member states of WHO's1 European region and reproduced on p 1663 of this week's BMJ. This underlines that the fundamental principle of healthcare reform should be to improve people's health, not contain costs. (Whether the British government supports this new move is unclear; its delegates were absent from the meeting that adopted the charter by consensus.)Keywords
