Fundamental 3:
Health
Quality, essential health care
Why it matters
Health is foundational. Without access to care, preventable illness robs families of income, opportunity, and life itself.
The reality
- Every 7 seconds, a mother or baby dies from preventable causes
- 14.5 million children have received no vaccines
- Over half the world lacks full access to essential health services
