World Health Statistics
The World Health Statistics 2018, WHO’s annual snapshot of the state of the world’s health, highlights that while remarkable progress towards the SDGs has been made in some areas, in other areas progress has stalled and the gains that have been made could easily be lost.
"The latest edition of the World Health Statistics shows just how far we still have to go. Too many people are still dying of preventable diseases, too many people are being pushed into poverty to pay for health care out of their own pockets and too many people are unable to get the health services they need. This is unacceptable."
WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

Maternal mortality
WHO /J. Holmes
In 2015, there were 216 deaths per 100,000 live births (a drop of 44% from 1990); however, in 2013, over 40% of all pregnant women were still not receiving early antenatal care.

Target 3.1: By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births

Tuberculosis
Target 3.3: By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases
Incidence rate of tuberculosis have declined by 19% over the 16 year period from 2000 – 2016. But while progress is impressive, it is still not fast enough to close persistent gaps and drug-resistant TB is a continuing threat.

Research and development
Target 3.b: Support the research and development of vaccines and medicines for the communicable and noncommunicable diseases that primarily affect developing countries
In 2016, one in 10 children worldwide did not receive their first dose of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP1) vaccine; coverage with all three doses was 86%.

Clean water
Target 6.1: By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking-water for all
Safely managed drinking-water services – that is, located on premises, available when needed and free from contamination – were available to only 71% of the global population in 2015.
