Measuring progress from 1990 to 2017 and projecting attainment to 2030 of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals for 195 countries and territories: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

We provide updated estimates for 41 of 52 health-related SDG indicators and the overall healthrelated SDG index for 195 countries and territories
Summary
During the early years of implementation of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted in 2015,1 various international efforts have sought to galvanise faster progress towards the SDGs’ bold aims.

Some countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America will need to hasten progress against non-communicable diseases (NCDs) if corresponding SDG targets are to be met, and NCDs are a major component of the GPW13.8,9 NCD prevention is a UN policy priority,[10] and many evidence-based policies and programmes exist to target NCDs, substantial implementation gaps remain. The Lancet has called for 2018 to be the year for action against NCDs,[9,11,12] and in the report Time to Deliver,[9,12] the WHO Independent High-Level Com mission on Noncommunicable Diseases declared there is no excuse not to act
