what is sustainable development ?

 

Definition of sustainable development:

"Sustainable development is a socioeconomic term used by the United Nations to chart a course for global environmental, social, and economic development. Its primary goal is to improve the living conditions of every individual in society, develop means and methods of production, and manage them in ways that do not lead to the depletion of the planet's natural resources, even if we do not overburden or deprive the planet of these resources (meeting the needs of the present generation without wasting future generations' rights), and without overusing the remaining natural resources on our plunder."Ministry of Environment Water & Agriculture (2018)

  Some examples of sustainable development :

"There are various examples that constitute a model for achieving sustainable development. Solar energy investment is one of the most important areas in support of sustainable development, in addition to wind energy, as well as several projects in developing and managing agricultural crops, water purification, investment and increasing green spaces." Mawdoo3(2019)

What is good health and well-being?

   Good health and well-being :

‏The WHO constitution states" Health is a state of complete physical, internal and social well- being and not simply the absence of complaint or infirmity." An important recrimination of this description is that internal health is further than just the absence of internal diseases or disabilities. Health is the balanced state of a living organism that allows it to perform the harmonious and intertwined performance of its vital functions in order to save its life and normal growth. World Health Organization (2010)

 The importance of good health :

Health is the balanced state of a living organism that allows it to perform the harmonious and intertwined performance of its vital functions in order to save its life and normal growth. 

Health has numerous aspects, including 

"Physical health, or it's also called physical fitness, internal health, Cerebral health, and occupational health, which aims to cover workers in manufactories or workplaces. 

One of the factors that help us maintain health is proper nutrition and exercise. 

Le Lande's report indicated that the introductory factors of public health are 4, including the rights of neighborhoods, the environment, lifestyle, and primary health care". World Health Organization (2010)


Linking the health goal to the five components:

Protecting the planet is a necessity to maintain health, so it is necessary to preserve air quality and sustainable use of food and water. Fighting poverty, ensuring everyone’s access to medical care and food, securing quality education, and ensuring gender equality are basic conditions for a sustainable society. The development of countries requires achieving comprehensive economic prosperity.  Which takes into account the environment and maintaining a healthy environment, and there is a mutual relationship between development, security and achieving peace, and one will not be achieved without the other, and in order to achieve the goal of health and other goals, a new global partnership and solidarity system must be established, and solidarity between nations and with civil society, non-governmental organizations and the private sector must be strengthened on  Both .Agence Française de Développement ( 2017 )


why it was developed from the Sustainable Development Goals:


"Reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030

End preventable deaths of newborns and children under the age of five by 2030, with all countries aiming to achieve the goal of reducing neonatal mortality to at least 12 deaths per 1,000 live births

End the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and control hepatitis B, waterborne diseases and other infectious diseases by 2030 

Reducing premature deaths from non-communicable diseases by one third through prevention, treatment and promotion of mental health and well-being by 2030." Goals - sustainable development(2022)


What advances have been made towards good health and well-being ?

 

Global progress in the goal of good health and well-being:

A number of very important goals have been adopted through the Kingdom's Vision 2030 that contribute to making the health sector one of the strongest and best health systems and sectors in the entire region, and in recent years, and in light of the implementation of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 plan for the health sector, "the development processes The health system increased the number of beds in health centers to 2.2 per thousand people in the Kingdom, in addition to providing a large number of skilled and experienced human medical personnel, resulting in an increase in the average age of individuals from 66 to 74 years."Vision 2030 (2022)


progress made today:

Progress has been made in maternal and child health
"The presence of qualified, skilled midwives and midwives is essential to reducing maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. Globally, in the period 2015-2021, an estimated 84 percent of births were assisted by skilled health professionals, including doctors, nurses and midwives. This was an increase from 77 percent in the period 2008-2014. However, coverage in sub-Saharan Africa was 20 percentage points lower than the global average.

Progress has also been made in under-5 and neonatal mortality, although far too many children continue to die. The global under-five mortality rate fell by 5 percent from 14 to 2015 - from 2020 to 43 deaths per 37 live births." unstats.un.org(2022)
