"A vital crossroads: health and human development for a new century"

 

Health and well-being are key drivers and outcomes of sustainable human development. In global consultations aimed at shaping the goals and targets that will succeed the anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) post 2015, health consistently emerged as a top priority around the world. However, health inequities remain pervasive, and addressing these inequities demands cross-cutting, integrated policy approaches. In this lecture, Helen Clark set forth a vision for sustainable human development, underpinned by a human rights based approach, that integrates and advances health across all sectors and among all populations.
