Tóm tắt : | 8 p. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity. It is critical that no one is left behind. In 2015, all the countries in the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It sets out 17 Goals, which include 169 targets. These wide-ranging and ambitious Goals interconnect. SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It has 13 targets measured through 26 indicators. However, a person’s health and well-being are affected not only by disease and treatment, but also by social and economic factors such as housing, poverty and education. Health targets can therefore also be found across the other SDGs. Tuberculosis (TB) is among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Yet TB can be prevented, and it can be cured. Thanks to the combined efforts of agencies and governments in diagnosis and treatment, TB incidence and mortality in the WHO European Region have shown the fastest decline in the world. However, with the rise of multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant forms of TB, there is no time to lose. This fact sheet provides facts and figures, an overview of the issues, commitments, and areas of intervention. It was tabled as a background document for the Technical briefing (EUR/RC67/TD/3) during the Sixty-seventh session of the Regional Committee for Europe, Budapest, 11–14 September 2017. |
