Achieving ambitious goals in global health

The Global Health 2035 report, by the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health, provides a roadmap to achieve dramatic health gains within one generation. As the Commission’s Secretariat, we are leveraging the report’s evidence and generating new analyses to shape three areas of global health policy.

Sustainable Development Goal for health

We work with the United Nations to share our vision of how the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for health, SDG 3, could be monitored and achieved by 2030.
