The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have emerged as a global pledge to 'leave no one behind'. Under SDG 3, 'Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all', target 3.3 extends the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) beyond HIV, TB and malaria to 'end the epidemic' of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) by 2030. Other targets are also relevant to NTDs, especially 3.8 (Universal Health Coverage), 6.1 (water) and 6.2 (sanitation). This commentary summarises the proposed NTD indicator (3.3) and tracers (3.8 and 6.1/6.2). These will help ensure that the world's poorest and most marginalized people are prioritized at every step on the path towards SDG targets.
可持续发展目标(SDGs)已成为一项“不让任何人掉队”的全球承诺。在可持续发展目标3“确保健康生活,促进所有人的福祉”之下,具体目标3.3将千年发展目标(MDGs)的范围从艾滋病毒、结核病和疟疾扩展到到2030年“终结”被忽视的热带病(NTDs)“流行”。其他具体目标也与被忽视的热带病相关,特别是3.8(全民健康覆盖)、6.1(水)和6.2(环境卫生)。本评论总结了拟议的被忽视的热带病指标(3.3)和追踪指标(3.8和6.1/6.2)。这些将有助于确保在实现可持续发展目标的道路上,世界上最贫穷和最边缘化的人群在每一步都被列为优先事项。
