GOAL 4: Quality Education

,GOAL 5: Gender Equality
GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
GOAL 13: Climate Action
GOAL 14: Life Below Water
GOAL 15: Life on Land

Only goal 3 directly concerns health, all other 16 SDGs are indirectly related to health.

and hygiene
PROVIDE A HEALTHY WORKPLACE
REVIEW YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN AND IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES.
Give to Projects that Support the SDGs.

How do the SDGs differ from the MDGs? - - Overarching goal of the SDGs is to
"ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" (p. 8). The goal of
MDGs was to "reduce extreme poverty by 2015."
- "The transition from the MDGs to the SDGs is premised on building a sustainable
world where environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and economic development
are equally valued (p. 7)."

,- The MDGs have promoted health and well-being in many countries, but progress
towards achieving the MDGs was uneven.
- The MDGs had amazing strides (e.g., half of the world population lived on $1.25 a day
in 1990, but this dropped to 14% by 2005); however, they left out issues such as
disasters, conflict situations, the epidemic of non-communicable diseases, mental
health disorders, and large inequities in all parts of the world (p. 7-8)
- SDGs addressed many of these shortcomings and position a new all-inclusive goal
with a broad set of targets for the MDGs
- Unlike the MDGs, which only targets the developing countries, the SDGs apply to all
countries whether rich, middle or poor countries. The SDGs are also nationally-owned
and country-led, wherein each country is given the freedom to establish a national
framework in achieving the SDGs.
- MDGs were prepared by only a few stakeholders without adequate involvement by
developing countries and overlooked development objectives previously agreed upon
and not appropriately adapted to national needs


What are the MDGs - i. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
ii. Achieve universal primary education
iii. Promote gender equality
iv. Reduce child mortality
v. Improve maternal health
vi. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
vii. To ensure environmental sustainability
viii. Develop a global partnership for development


What is health equity? How does accomplishing the SDGs help to achieve health
equity? - - Health equity is created when individuals have the fair opportunity to reach
their fullest health potential. No one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential
because of social position or other socially determined circumstances
- SDG 3 aspires to ensure health and well-being for all, including a bold commitment to
end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable diseases by

, 2030. It also aims to achieve universal health coverage, and provide access to safe and
effective medicines and vaccines for all.


What is the relationship between poverty and health? - - Root cause of hunger and
death from infectious disease
- Major contributor to crime, unsafe housing, and a large number of other deadly
deprivations
- Wherever there is widespread poverty, there will inevitably be inequity and injustice as
two of the principal contributory issues


What key factors determine personal health? - Genetics, behaviour, environmental and
physical influences, medical care, and societal factors


How do human rights abuses relate to global health? - - a set of rights afforded to
individuals on the basis of being human, that is, irrespective of national citizenship,
gender, ethnicity, or other traits
- discrimination and oppression based on gender occurs and health is compromised. It
is now realized that peace and prosperity depend on a fundamental foundation of
benign governance that respects the rights of individuals


Why is malnutrition considered an element of global health? - 795 million people
suffering from malnutrition. Death from starvation has largeely been replaced by chronic
malnutrition, which sap the energy and the potential of huge numbers of the world's
population. Malnutrition increases mortality from diseases such as gastroenteritis and
measles


Why is population health so poor in many developing countries? - Lack of an improved
water source
Poor sanitation
Malnutrition
War and conflict
