SDG Detail

SDG Impact Assessment Tool

Postgraduate program

Project description

It uses the SDG framework as a most efficient way to teach two interrelated issues. On the one hand, this concerns the way that the human right to health is disparately exercised in the world and health inequities between countries may be as significant as gaps of more than 25 years in life expectancy. On the other, the SDG framework helps to demonstrate to physicians-to-be how the 2030 international agenda concerns them, not only as citizens but also as medical practitioners.
