Many UN millennium goals are not on target
Many countries are falling behind the millennium development goals set by the UN in 2000, say Haines and Cassels (p 394), and they are unlikely to be reached by 2015. For example, for mortality in children under 5 years, the developing world managed a reduction of only 2.5% in the average annual rate during the 1990s, well short of the target of 4.2%. Improved health outcomes will not be possible without major improvements in healthcare delivery systems, say the authors.
