The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals
with 169 targets that all 191 UN Member States have agreed to try to
achieve by the year 2030.
Health has a central place in SDG 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promoting
well-being for all at all ages”, underpinned by 13 targets that cover a
wide spectrum of WHO’s work. Almost all of the other 16 goals are
directly related to health or will contribute to health indirectly.
The new agenda, which builds on the Millennium Development Goals, aims
to be relevant to all countries and focuses on improving equity to meet
the needs of women, children and the poorest, most disadvantaged people.
