In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the sustainable development goals (SDGs) to address among others poverty and inequality within and among countries of the world. In particular, the SDGs aim at ameliorating the position of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in societies. One of the over-arching goals of the SDGs is to ensure that no one is left behind in the realisation of their access to health care. African governments are obligated under international and regional human rights law to ensure access to healthcare services for everyone, including indigenous populations, on a non-discriminatory basis. This requires the governments to adopt appropriate measures that will remove barriers to healthcare services for disadvantaged and marginalised groups such as indigenous peoples.
2015 年 9 月，联合国通过了可持续发展目标（SDGs），旨在解决世界各国内部和国家之间的贫困和不平等问题。特别是，可持续发展目标旨在改善社会中弱势群体和易受伤害群体的地位。可持续发展目标的总体目标之一是确保在实现获得医疗保健的机会方面，没有人被落下。非洲各国政府根据国际和区域人权法有义务确保人人包括土著居民都能在非歧视的基础上获得医疗保健服务。这要求各国政府采取适当措施，消除对弱势群体和边缘化群体（如土著人民）获得医疗保健服务的障碍。
