The products that PDPs develop are essential to achieve universal health coverage and the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals

Written By Jess Wiggs
 

The development of products in PDPs’ portfolios, such as improved vaccines, treatments, diagnostics, and vector controls for tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV/AIDS, and improved tools for women’s and children’s health is a necessary precondition for universal health coverage and the achievement of:

  • SDG #1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere

  • SDG #3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

  • SDG #5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

  • SDG #8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

  • SDG #10: Reduce inequality within and among countries

  • SDG #17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

Continued support of PDPs is critical to achieve these goals
