完成聯(lián)合國(guó)健康目標(biāo)，新加坡、冰島和瑞典走在最前面
More than 60 percent of the world's nations are expected to meet some of their health targets in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. They include reducing child and maternal deaths and deaths from malaria. However, fewer than five percent are projected to meet their targets on reducing the number of overweight children, tuberculosis infections and traffic deaths.
The news comes in a report published Wednesday by the British journal The Lancet that analyzed health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries. The 17 wide-ranging goals spearheaded by the U.N. focus on improving health and education, ending poverty, combating climate change, making cities more sustainable and protecting oceans and forests.
Singapore, Iceland and Sweden were the highest performing countries in the health-related goals. Somalia, Central African Republic and Afghanistan ranked lowest. Nordic and other European countries plus Australia, Canada, Antigua and Barbuda rank in the top 20. The U.S. ranks 24th.
The report, which was funded by the U.S. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said the findings should help shape policies in order to address long-standing and emerging health challenges.
Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute of Health Metrics Evaluation and a professor of global health at the University of Washington, was the lead author.
Murray said in The Lancet: "China, Cambodia and many other middle and low-income nations deserve recognition for improving their citizens’ lives, as evidenced by impressive improvements in under-five mortality, neonatal mortality, vaccine coverage, maternal mortality, and malaria.”
The report was prepared ahead of the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly, beginning in New York later this month.
世界上60%以上的國(guó)家預(yù)計(jì)可以完成一部分聯(lián)合國(guó)2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)，其中包括降低母嬰死亡率和減少死于瘧疾的人數(shù)。然而，只有不到5%的國(guó)家預(yù)計(jì)可以完成減少超重兒童、減少肺結(jié)核患者數(shù)量和減少交通事故死亡人數(shù)的目標(biāo)。
這是星期三發(fā)表在英國(guó)《柳葉刀》期刊上的一份研究得出的結(jié)論。研究對(duì)188個(gè)國(guó)家跟健康有關(guān)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)進(jìn)行了分析。聯(lián)合國(guó)在2024年峰會(huì)上采納了范圍廣泛的17項(xiàng)發(fā)展目標(biāo)，包括改善健康和教育、消滅貧窮、與氣候變化做斗爭(zhēng)、讓城市更具可持續(xù)性，以及保護(hù)海洋和森林。
在健康領(lǐng)域內(nèi)，新加坡、冰島和瑞典表現(xiàn)最好。索馬里、中非共和國(guó)和阿富汗排名最后。北歐和其它歐洲國(guó)家、澳大利亞、加拿大、安提瓜和巴布達(dá)排在前20名，美國(guó)排名24。
這份報(bào)告是美國(guó)的比爾及梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)出資的。報(bào)告說，研究結(jié)果有助于指導(dǎo)政策的制定，解決長(zhǎng)期存在的和正在出現(xiàn)的健康挑戰(zhàn)。
美國(guó)華盛頓大學(xué)健康指標(biāo)與評(píng)估研究所所長(zhǎng)默里是這項(xiàng)研究的主要作者。
默里在《柳葉刀》的報(bào)告中說：“中國(guó)、柬埔寨和其它一些中低收入國(guó)家在改善人民生活上的成果應(yīng)該得到認(rèn)可，這些成果體現(xiàn)在顯著降低5歲以下兒童死亡率，減低新生兒死亡率，疫苗普及、降低產(chǎn)婦死亡率和死于瘧疾的人數(shù)上?！?/p>
這項(xiàng)報(bào)告的發(fā)表正趕在72屆聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)開幕。
