CHN LEC -- GLOBAL HEALTH SITUATION

Covid 19

— poses major challenges to population health and well-being globally and hinders progress in meeting the SDGs and WHOs Triple Billion Targets

WHO Triple Billion Targets

— A shared vision among WHO and Member States, which help countries to accelerate the delivery of the SDGs

— By 2023 they aim to achieve: one billion more people enjoying better health and well-being, one billion more people benefiting from universal health coverage (covered by health services without experiencing financial hardship) and one billion more people better protected from health emergencies.

Tuberculosis

— Remains the world’s leading cause of death from a single infectious agent.

— Globally, an estimated 10 million (range, 8.9–11 million) people fell ill in 2019, a number that has been declining very slowly in recent years but not fast enough to reach the 2020 milestone of a 20% reduction between 2015 and 2020.

Universal health coverage

— is one of the targets the nations of the world set when adopting the SDGs in 2015 and when reaffirming this commitment at the United Nations General Assembly High Level Meeting on UHC in 2019.

— It means that all individuals and communities receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship

Health workforce

— The global health workforce has responded heroically since the pandemic began. And fittingly, 2021 has been designated International Year of Health and Care Workers in appreciation of their unwavering dedication in the fight against COVID-19. Yet the world needs millions more of them if it is to achieve universal health coverage by 2030.
