Proposed Sustainable Development Goals Need Greater Health Focus
In this SciDev.Net opinion piece, journalist Priya Shetty writes that the Sustainable Development Goals -- a successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) proposed to begin in 2015 -- "need more focus on health to continue the progress achieved with MDGs." She continues, "[A]lthough early drafts of the SDGs address issues that the MDGs neglected, such as food security, they are light on health and many social issues (education, for example, or gender equity). This should be of major concern to public health experts."
