The Causes Of World Health Organizations ( WHO ) And Millennium Development Goals

The World Health Organization (WHO) has created an agenda for 2030. Within this agenda there are seventeen sustainable developmental goals (SDG) that aim to transform our world. These goals are to be met through numerous different means, government policies, public change, non-government organizations (NGO) and a variety of other ways. NGO’s are a large way to help meet these goals and impact the world for the better. LRBT, an NGO that focuses on eye care for those who live in Pakistan, focuses on meeting the goal ensuring healthy lives and wellbeing for all at all ages (United nations SDG, reference). Ensuring eye care for the residents of Pakistan not only provides them with care they should be subject too always, but

The United Nation’s goal for 2030 is to strive towards eliminating as much poverty as possible. Even though as the years go on poverty is slowly decreasing, it is not as much as hoped. “More than 800 million people are being affected by poverty and amazingly living off an average of only $1.25 per day” (United Nations, para. 1).

The World Health Organization (WHO) was established in 1948 by the United Nations, serving as a specialized agency to coordinate international health and public health problems (Wilkinson & Marmot, 2003, p. 4). Mason, Gardner, Outlaw, and O'Grady (2016) states that health is created where people live, work, and play; therefore being more dependent on one’s zipcode rather than one’s genetic code (p. 2). One of the goals of the WHO is to create a healthier nation which requires that the factors that challenge or promote health be addressed; these factors are known as the social determinants of health or the core determinants of health (Mason, Gardner, Outlaw, & O'Grady, 2016).

The World Health Organisation came up with 10 social factors known as the Social Determinants of Health (SOH) which helps people determine decisions about their health. Stress is a determinant of health that causes problems in the Otara community. People worry about whats for dinner and how bills are going to be paid due to the low employment rate and housing costs. They also worry that they cant go see the doctor due to the lack of accessibility which are examples caused by social and psychological circumstances related to stress. An increase in stress can affect the cardiovascular and immune system which can increase the risk of infection, diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, stroke and depression which has an impact on an individuals health.

The world faced a stark reality at the turn of the century. Amidst unprecedented new wealth and powerful new technologies, millions were still getting sick and dying from diseases and life expectancies were actually falling. Therefore, in September 2000, 189 country representatives adopted the Millennium Development Goals to focus on time limited commitments to reduce poverty and promote human development in order to reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDs, malaria and other disease by 2015.(WHO, 2008). The challenge for meeting this deadline of goals was perceived as emergent and had a powerful effect for transforming the long-standing problem of global public health. It was perceived that globalization was putting the social cohesiveness of many countries under stress and that the health systems as key constituents of our contemporary societies were clearly not performing as well as they could and should.

SDGs Goal Number 1 is “End poverty in all it forms everywhere.” Although the number of poverty is decreasing by more than half in the reign of MDGs, there are still 1.2 billion people living in poverty. More than 800 people still living on less than $1.25 per day. The biggest percentage of poverty is in countries in the South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa by 80% of global total in extreme poverty. Rapid economic growth countries (example: India and China) have made many people out of poverty but the progress also didn’t reach the maximum.

Global health has always been an issue. There are always disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and countries who do not have access to the resources they need. For years, people have been working to get urgent medical care to people who need it most, and also to educate them about basic health and hygiene. There have been many organizations and partnerships who have contributed to the advancement of global health, but the one that stands out the most is the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization has impacted global health by who they are and what they do, what emergencies they have dealt with, and the research they have done.

overty issue comes first since it is the foremost global problem to be solved. MDG Goal 1, Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger, aimed at reducing the number of people suffering from absolute poverty and hunger by 50%. MDG 1 is split into two SDGs. SDG 1 is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere and SDG 2 is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. SDGs 1 and 2 aim to reduce poor population by 50% in each country and they emphasize food supply for the socially disadvantaged. They attempt not only to achieve indexes, but also to nurture production and survival ability by providing policy tools. MDG 1 did not differentiate poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger are closely related, but

Since decades child health have persisted in debilitating conditions throughout the world particularly in developing countries where child mortality rates remain elevated. Eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were proposed by United Nations in 2000 for its member states to be achieved by 2015. These MDGs provided guidance and direction to the national and global health priorities. Out of these eight MDGs, goal 4 was related to children mortality and target was set to reduce by two third, the under-five mortality rate in 2015 (WHO, 2014). The progress of MDG 4 was significant globally and the number of deaths in under 5 years of children dropped down to 6.6 million in 2012 compared to 12.6 million in 1990 (WHO, 2014). Whilst its burden

As Truman stated in his speech, we now have the means and ability to eradicate global poverty (The Economist, 2013). So, we ask the question: How far have we come, and what's holding us back from eliminating global inequality and poverty? There have been several groups of goals put in place to aid with this attempt, such as the MDGs, and the SDGs. The MDGs were supposed to have been met by 2015, but 2015 has since passed, and a new set of goals, the SDGs have been set to replace them, and aim to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030 (Ford, 2015). Realistically, eliminating global poverty is a global job, and if everyone isn't on board, how much can actually be achieved? What's stunting the progress of these goals? The fact that there are still
