Health in 2015, from MDGs millennium development goals, to SDGs sustainable development goals

In 2015 the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) came to an end and a post-2015 agenda, comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), took their place. Trends that have defined health-related development under the MDGs, including achievements, lessons learned, unfinished business, and challenges to come are reviewed. Chapters include: economic, social and environmental context and health implications; universal health coverage; reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent health and undernutrition; infectious diseases; noncommunicable diseases; mental health and substance use; injuries and violence; and SDGs implications and challenges.
