- Strengthen health systems, including access to health personnel
- Intensify efforts to combat non-communicable diseases

“We know that poor health is just as much a cause of poverty as a consequence of poverty, and we are aware of the links between access to health services, good health and prosperity. We can achieve equity and good health for all, but in order to do so we will have to focus on improving health systems and primary health care services,” said Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.
