WHO releases discussion paper examining potential global health goals for post-2015 agenda

"The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a discussion paper [.pdf] identifying issues to be considered in the context of potential global health goals for the post-2015 agenda," the International Institute for Sustainable Development reports in an article on its webpage. "The paper suggests universal health coverage (UHC) as an inclusive umbrella for addressing these issues" and "notes that post-2015 goals should build on progress achieved under the framework of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), while future goals and indicators need to: be framed as global challenges rather than aspirations for developing countries; ensure policy coherence; and take a strategic approach," according to the article (October 2012).
