More is less? Health in the Sustainable Development Goals

The Conversation After in depth-analysis of the SDGs and health Peter Hill is questioning what to expect from SDG 3: "Health has secured its place in the SDG, but my anxiety remains. I have argued that one of the disadvantages of the MDG was the way they targeted specific issues. By achieving progress for those issues, they narrowed aid priorities and distorted health systems development. But now I’m faced with a massively expanded — but still not exhaustive — set of targets in health, with no comprehensive strategy for addressing them."
