HEALTH SYSTEM SERVICE DELIVERY

WHO is supporting countries in implementing people-centred and integrated health services by way of
developing policy options, reform strategies, evidence-based guidelines and best practices that can be
tailored to various country settings. People-centred care is care that is focused and organized around the
health needs and expectations of people and communities, rather than on diseases. Whereas patient-centred
care is commonly understood as focusing on the individual seeking care (the patient), people-centred care
encompasses these clinical encounters and also includes attention to the health of people in their
communities and their crucial role in shaping health policy and health services. Integrated health services
encompasses the management and delivery of quality and safe health services so that people receive a
continuum of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, disease-management,
rehabilitation and palliative care services, through the different levels and sites of care within the health
system, and according to their needs throughout the life course.

MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight goals that all 191 UN member states have
agreed to try to achieve by the year 2015. The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September
2000 commits world leaders to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and
discrimination against women. The MDGs are derived from this Declaration, and all have specific targets and
indicators.

The Eight Millennium Development Goals are:

1. To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;

- To halve the proportion of people whose daily income is less than $1.25

- To achieve full and productive employment, as well as decent work for all, including young people and
women

- To halve the proportion of individuals suffering from hunger in the period between 1990 and 2015.

2. To achieve universal primary education;

- The fact that rural children are highly affected by hunger and malnutrition has also seriously affected their
learning ability. As such, food security and primary education should be addressed at the same time to give
rural people the capacity to feed themselves and overcome hunger, poverty, and illiteracy. Social protection
brings together all efforts for education and food security towards increased effectiveness.
- To ensure that children universally including both boys and girls will be able to complete a full course of
primary education by 2015.

3. To promote gender equality and empower women;

- To eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2005, and in all levels of education by
2015.

4. To reduce child mortality;

- To reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds in the period between 1990 and 2015

5. To improve maternal health;

-To reduce the maternal mortality ratio by 75 percent

-To achieve universal access to reproductive health

6. To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases;

-To halt by 2015 and have started to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS

-To achieve global access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for those who need it by 2010

-To have ceased and started reversal of the incidence of malaria and other major diseases by 2015

7. To ensure environmental sustainability; and

-To integrate the principles of sustainable development into every nation’s policies and programmes, and also
reverse the depletion of environmental resources

-To reduce biodiversity loss and achieve a substantial reduction in the rate of loss by 2010

-To halve the proportion of the universal population without sustainable access to clean and safe drinking
water and basic sanitation by 2015.

-To achieve substantial improvement in the lives of a minimum of 100 million slum dwellers by 2020.

8. To develop a global partnership for development.

-To further develop an open, predictable, rule-based, non-discriminatory trading and economic system

-To address the special needs of the least developed countries

-To address the special needs of small island developing States and landlocked developing countries
-To deal exhaustively with the debt problems of developing nations

-To provide access to affordable essential drugs in the developing world – in collaboration with
pharmaceutical companies

-To avail benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications, in collaboration with the
private sector.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate,
environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave
no one behind, it ís important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030. Click on any specific Goal below
to learn more about each issue. The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one area
will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental
sustainability.

 GOAL 1: No Poverty
- Poverty is more than the lack of income or resources: People live in poverty if they lack basic
services such as healthcare, security, and education. They also experience hunger, social
discrimination, and exclusion from decision-making processes.
 GOAL 2: Zero Hunger
- Goal 2 states that by 2030 we should end hunger and all forms of malnutrition. This would be
accomplished by doubling agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers , by
ensuring sustainable food production systems, and by progressively improving land and soil
quality.
 GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being
- Attention to health and well-being also includes targets related to the prevention and treatment of
substance abuse, deaths and injuries from traffic accidents and from hazardous chemicals and air,
water and soil pollution and contamination.
 GOAL 4: Quality Education
- Access does not always mean quality of education or completion of primary school. 103 million youth
worldwide still lack basic literacy skills, and more than 60 percent of those are women.
 GOAL 5: Gender Equality
- According to the UN, "gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary
foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world." Providing women and girls with
equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic
decision-making processes will nurture sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity
at large.
 GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- Worldwide, 6 out of 10 people lack safely managed sanitation services, and 3 out of 10 lack safely
managed water services. Safe drinking water and hygienic toilets protect people from disease and
enable societies to be more productive economically. Attending school and work without
disruption is critical to successful education and successful employment. Therefore, toilets in
schools and work places are specifically mentioned as a target to measure.
 GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
- Targets for 2030 include access to affordable and reliable energy while increasing the share of
renewable energy in the global energy mix. This would involve improving energy efficiency and
enhancing international cooperation to facilitate more open access to clean energy technology and
more investment in clean energy infrastructure.
 GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- By 2030, the target is to establish policies for sustainable tourism that will create jobs. Strengthening
domestic financial institutions and increasing Aid for Trade support for developing countries is
considered essential to economic development.
 GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Manufacturing is a major source of employment. In 2016, the least developed countries had less
"manufacturing value added per capita". The figure for Europe and North America amounted to
US$4,621, compared to about $100 in the least developed countries.[54] The manufacturing of
high products contributes 80 percent to total manufacturing output in industrialized economies
but barely 10 percent in the least developed countries.
 GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality
- Reduce inequality within and among countries
We cannot live in a truly developed world without equal opportunities for both countries and their
citizens. Equality is at the core of all the sustainable development goals. Together we can empower
and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all people irrespective of age, sex,
disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, economic or other status.
 GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
-Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
By 2030, almost 60% of the world's population will live in urban areas, and most of that urban
expansion will be in the developing world. Rapid urbanization puts pressure on supplies of fresh water,
sewage systems, the living environment and public health. Let's embrace the technological and social
benefits of cities by making sure they are safe for everyone and sustainable for decades to come.
 GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Sustainable consumption and production are all about doing more and better with less. The global
population is projected to reach ten billion by 2050, adding further pressure on our planet's finite
resources. Let's promote sustainable lifestyles so that everyone--including our grandchildren--can
enjoy a good quality of life with access to food, water, energy, medicine and more.
 GOAL 13: Climate Action
- Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The world's industrialized nations have changed the balance of the earth's carbon cycle over the last
150 years by burning large amounts of fossil fuels. Climate change has the potential to derail other
efforts toward sustainable development by altering weather patterns that threaten our food
production and increasing sea levels which will displace coastal communities. We need to increase
awareness and convey urgency to world leaders so we can begin combating climate change before it is
too late.

 GOAL 14: Life Below Water

- Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development
Our oceans and seas are being threatened and destroyed by human activities like marine pollution,
overfishing, and destruction of marine habitats. Oceans cover three quarters of the earth's surface,
and they are home to nearly 200,000 species. That marine and coastal biodiversity isn't just beautiful;
it provides the livelihoods of more than 3 billion people. We can stop and reverse the damage we have
done to our world's oceans if we act quickly to conserve and protect our marine resources and
habitats.
 GOAL 15: Life on Land
- Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests,
combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Pressures from our growing global population, urbanization, and climate change are causing
biodiversity to decline. Most developing countries rely on meat from wild animals for food. Let's
work to restore and protect our planet's biodiversity in order to prevent land degradation,
ecosystem imbalance, and food insecurity.

 GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions

- Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for
all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
We can only look forward to a more equal and sustainable world if we have more peaceful and
inclusive societies. That means we'll need to reduce crime, violence, and exploitation. The illegal arms
and drug trade will have to stop. Public institutions that we all rely on will have to be effective,
transparent and accountable.

 GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal

- Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable
development
The realization of these 17 goals is not some idealistic dream. We've seen global goals work in the past,
and we're taking the new goals even further to address the root causes of poverty. We have the
means and experience to finish this fight -- but only if people everywhere understand how close we
are.
