Frédérique Vidal Bill Gates Minister of Higher Education, Co-Chair, Bill & Melinda Research and Innovation, France Gates Foundation M8 DECLARATION 2018

Health is a Driving Force for the Sustainable Development Goals Global health is central to the Sustainable Development Goals. International organizations, governments and non-state actors are increasingly joining forces to shape a more sustainable future. In 2018, many high-level political gatherings have reinforced the importance of including health in their deliberations: At the United Nations two high-level meetings were dedicated to the challenges of non-communicable diseases and to tuberculosis, and the G20 continued its series of health ministers’ meetings with a focus on childhood obesity. All reinforce – as does the World Health Summit – that in order to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being of all people, the integrated support of all other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is required. It also reinforces the importance of a strong commitment to multilateralism to support global health. (...)

The rich discussions at the World Health Summit in 2018 lead us to highlight the need for action in six key areas of global health:
