9
Q
SDG 1 and targets
A
no poverty
- eradicating extreme poverty
- reducing poverty by at least 50%
- implementing social protection systems
- building resilience to environmental, economic and social disasters
10
Q
SDG 1 relationship to SDG 3
A
no poverty
- to enable good health and wellbeing, poverty needs to be eradicated
- governments in low income tend to not put as much money towards public health and wellbeing
- need access to free healthcare and access to medications
11
Q
SDG 2 and targets
A
zero hunger
- aims to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition
- universal access to safe and nutritious food
- maintain the genetic diversity in food production
- double the productivity and income of small-scale food producers
12
Q
SDG 2 relationship to SDG 3
A
zero hunger
- mothers are more likely to survive birth and have healthier babies
- reduces risk of contracting and dying from communicable diseases
- maternal and child health and wellbeing will be improved with access to nutritious foods
- millions of people globally still experience chronic hinger, and malnutrition, resulting in high mortality rates, particularly for children
13
Q
SDG 4 and targets
A
quality education
- equal access to quality pre-primary education
- free primary and secondary education
- universal literacy and numeracy
- eliminate all discrimination in education
14
Q
SDG 4 relationship to SDG 3
A
quality education
- educated children are less likely to enter into marriage during childhood, making it more likely for the women to to wait until their bodies are fully grown which will reduce maternal and child mortality rates
- education improves health literacy such as understanding ways to prevent communicable diseases such as malaria or HIV
- educating girls will result in a decrease in births due to health literacy which can stabilise the population
- education = employment = nutritious food/water/clothing/shelter
15
Q
SDG 5 and targets
A
gender equality
- eliminate forced marriages and genital mutilation
- universal access to reproductive health rights
- end discrimination against women and girls
- end all violence and exploitation of women and girls

clean water and sanitation
- as millions of people globally lack access to clean water and sanitation resulting in preventable illness and high mortality rates, particularly among children and mothers
- the risk of diarrhoea will be reducing which with improve rated of under 5 mortality
- improved water at school will improve female attendance
- girls will no longer have to walk hours to collect water which will increase their chances of going to school
19
Q
SDG 13 and targets
A
climate action
- strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate related disasters
- build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change
20
Q
SDG 13 relationship to SDG 3
A
climate action
- by working to combat climate change, future generations may be less likely to have water sources contaminated by disasters such as flooding, therefore reducing risk of water borne diseases
- cleaner energy systems, promoting energy efficient public transport and alternatives, such as cycling to walking, rather than private vehicles, could reduce carbon emissions and air pollution, all of which could help rescue current morbidity and mortality rates due to communicable diseases and non-communicable diseases
- by promoting low-carbon development and renewable energy sources, rates of noncommunicable diseases such as respiratory diseases will be reduced
21
Q
strategic priorities and work of the WHO
A
- achieve universal health cover
- addressing health emergencies
- promoting healthier populations
22
Q
addressing health emergencies
A
- building and sustaining resilient national, regional and global capacities requires to keep the world safe from epidemics and other health emergencies
- ensuring the populations affected by acute and protected emergencies have rapid access to essential life-saving health services including health promotion and disease prevention
23
Q
promoting healthier populations
A
- improving human capital across the life course
- accelerating action on preventing non-communicable diseases and promoting mental health
- accelerating elimination and eradication of high impact communicable diseases
- tackling antimicrobial resistance
- addressing health effects of climate change is small island developing states and other vulnerable states
