We have made huge strides in reducing child mortality, improving maternal health and fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Since 1990, there has been an over 50 percent decline in preventable child deaths globally. Despite this incredible progress, more than 6 million children still die before their fifth birthday every year. These deaths can be avoided through prevention and treatment, education, immunization campaigns, and sexual and reproductive healthcare. Abbiamo compiuto enormi progressi nel ridurre la mortalità infantile, migliorare la salute materna e combattere l'HIV / AIDS, la malaria e altre malattie. Dal 1990, c'è stato un declino oltre il 50 per cento dei decessi infantili prevenibili a livello globale. Nonostante questo incredibile progresso, oltre 6 milioni di bambini muoiono ancora prima del loro quinto compleanno ogni anno.  Queste morti possono essere evitate attraverso la prevenzione e il trattamento, l'educazione, le campagne di vaccinazione e l'assistenza sanitaria sessuale e riproduttiva.

The Sustainable Development Goals: The Sustainable Development Goals make a bold commitment to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable diseases by 2030. The aim is to achieve universal health coverage, and provide access to safe and affordable medicines and vaccines for all. Supporting research and development for vaccines is an essential part of this process as well.

What’s the goal here? Qual è l’obiettivo qui? To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Access to good health and well-being is a human Right. Agenda offers a new chance to ensure that everyone can access the highest standards of health and health care— not just the wealthiest. Garantire una vita sana e promuovere il benessere per tutti a tutte le età. L’accesso alla buona salute e il benessere è un diritto dell’ essere umano. L'agenda offre una nuova possibilità : tutti possono accedere ai più alti standard di salute e assistenza sanitaria- non solo i più ricchi.

We still have a longer way to go in fact real progress means achieving universal health coverage, making essential medicines and vaccines affordable; ensuring that women have full access to sexual and reproductive health care. I grandi progressi sono stati fatti in diverse aree. Abbiamo ancora una lunga strada da percorrere infatti il vero progresso significa raggiungere una copertura sanitaria universale , produrre medicine essenziali e vaccini a prezzi accessibili; garantendo che le donne abbiano pieno accesso all’ assistenza sessuale.
