This paper carry out an analysis of the Declaration of Alma Ata that was adopted at the International Conference on Primary Health Care in the former capital of Kazakhstan in September 1978. The chosen focus for this study concerns the utopical dimension of the theses of primary health care and it performs a brief assessment of the course taken by the original proposal. As a critical standpoint, it is used the satirical movie ‘Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan’, especially by means of the idea of “atopy”, suggested by the biopolitical immune aspects of the adventures of the forementionjed character – a fake reporter from Kazakhstan that travels to work in the United States of America
