Meeting the Challenges of Achieving United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and Millennium Development Goals

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources for this week and reflect on each MDG. Consider how each MDG might apply to your country or region and how the MDGs address the global burden of disease. Then, reflect on how achieving the goals of the MDGs may impact global society and influence your current or future work in public health in a global context. 

By Day 3

Choose a country and explain which one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) you believe is most relevant for addressing the global burden of disease in that country, and support why. Then, explain how achieving health-related SDGs may impact global society in that country. Specifically, in your response be sure to discuss the means by which structural bias, social inequities and racism undermine health and create challenges to achieving health equity at organizational, community, and societal levels. Provide examples and remember to cite your sources.
