Progress on the health-related Sustainable Development Goals and targets in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 2023
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a vision of healthy lives and well-being for all at all ages. This major report provides an update on progress towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. It presents regional trends between 2015 and 2021 for 50 health-related SDG indicators using available data from WHO and estimates from other United Nations agencies. The report reveals some successes at the country level amid a marked slowdown regionally, with setbacks across indicators on health, health risks and determinants, and access to services. We are at the halfway point for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: to reverse current trends, and ensure the health and well-being of our population, we must take bold steps now.
