This report aims to describe global health in 2015, looking back 15 years at the trends and positive forces during the MDG era and assessing the main challenges for the coming 15 years. The following chapter describes the context, including population and epidemiological changes, and the economic, social and environmental determinants of health. The subsequent six chapters present the trends and challenges for the main health areas that are prominent in the health goal of the SDGs: UHC; reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health; infectious diseases; noncommunicable diseases (NCDs); mental health and substance abuse; and injuries and violence. Some chapters cover multiple health targets and, where relevant, refer to SDG targets that are in other goals. The final chapter reflects on the implications of the SDG for health. Each chapter summarizes the achievements and progress towards the health-related MDGs since 2000, or trends in areas that were not prioritized in the MDGs. Key factors that have contributed to the success of the past 15 years are identified, ranging from country actions to global partnerships, funding increases and scale-up of new interventions. The major challenges for health in 2015 and the next 15 years are also summarized. The last part of each chapter puts together the strategic priorities as defined in the SDG targets, and links those to World Health Organization (WHO) resolutions, global action plans and other critical strategic documents. For many areas, the World Health Assembly has already laid out what countries and the international community should prioritize to make significant progress towards the new SDG targets. In many other areas, the SDGs offer a new, broader and integrated perspective that needs further concretization and impetus in regard to UHC and intersectoral approaches.
