Health is a political choice

Global health is increasingly shaped in the political arena. For the first time the heads of state of the G20 included priority global health issues in their final declaration. Health is recognized as a central piece of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 and it is now a regular feature at the UN General Assembly. Many regional political bodies are engaging to improve health whilst city initiatives for health are gaining in relevance.

The rich discussions at the World Health Summit 2017 lead us to highlight the need for action in six key areas of global health:

Commitment Commitment Commitment 1 to Strong and Reliable 2 to Ensure Global 3 to Healthy and Governance Health Security Resilient Cities

The M8 Alliance renews its full com­- mitment to support goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals which aims to: “Ensure healthy lives and promote well­-being for all at all ages.” We call on heads of state and govern- ment to invest in people and to en- sure that no one is left behind. The M8 Alliance commits to the transfor- mative approach of the Sustainable Development Goals. Success in SDG goal 3 will be achieved in a cross sec­- toral approach involving many of the other SDGs. We call on politicians to make the political choice for health. STARTUP TRACK 2017
