哈夫丹•馬勒博士（Dr Halfdan T. Mahler）于2016年12月14日的逝世使世衛組織沉浸在悲痛之中。
作為世衛組織第三任總干事，馬勒博士將被世人銘記為初級保健的提倡者。他對于決定1978年《阿拉木圖宣言》的方向發揮了關鍵領導作用，該宣言確定了“2000年人人享有衛生保健”戰略。在他的領導下，世衛組織和兒童基金會共同編寫了《滿足發展中國家基本衛生需求的替代方法》報告，其中審查了不同國家的初級衛生保健成功做法。
馬勒博士于1951年擔任印度國家結核病規劃的高級官員，從而開始了在世衛組織的職業生涯。他在本組織擔任的其他職位包括日內瓦結核病部門主任、項目系統分析司長和助理總干事。
1988年從世衛組織退休后，馬勒博士擔任國際計劃生育聯合會的領導，直至1995年。馬勒博士即使在退休后也經常到訪世衛組織，與工作人員保持密切聯系，并為本組織在擴大初級保健工作方面取得的進展喝彩。全球衛生界將會深切懷念他。
