On 25 September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted and committed to a new development agenda "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", which translated into 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Global commitment to SDGs ushered in renewed calls to improve availability and accessibility of timely and quality information to monitor the progress towards achieving the health-related SDGs globally and in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Health-related targets - under SDG 3 and also within other goals - require careful measurement and monitoring in order to track progress and success in policy implementation. SDG targets requires accurate and timely reporting of diseases, risk factors, mortality and causes of deaths (ranging from maternal mortality to death from road traffic accidents) and health care and social determinants of health.
2015 年 9 月 25 日,联合国(UN)大会通过并承诺实施一项新的发展议程“变革我们的世界:2030 年可持续发展议程”,其中包含 17 项可持续发展目标(SDGs)。全球对可持续发展目标的承诺再次呼吁改善及时提供和获取有关信息的可及性和及时性,以监测全球和东地中海区域(EMR)实现与卫生相关的可持续发展目标的进展情况。与卫生相关的目标——在可持续发展目标 3 下,也在其他目标中——需要仔细衡量和监测,以便跟踪政策实施的进展和成功。可持续发展目标目标需要准确和及时报告疾病、风险因素、死亡率和死因(从孕产妇死亡率到道路交通伤害死亡)以及卫生保健和健康的社会决定因素。
