"With just 64 months left to 2030, the message is clear. Progress is possible, but only if we hold ourselves accountable. Nepal is committed in these priorities, equity and universal coverage, ensuring service reach the last mile and marginalised groups, sustaining gains, consolidating disease elimination efforts while tackling NCDs and climate sensitive diseases, strengthening accountability through digital health information system, citizen engagement and parliamentary oversight and empowering women and youth in health leadership because SDG-3 and SDG-5 are inseparable and must go together," said Dr Bikas Devkota of Nepal government.
"But we also know that challenges remain. Health inequities persist. NCDs are on the rise. Climate change is reshaping health risk and financing gaps threaten sustainability. Therefore, as world leaders would meet at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly next month, Nepal calls upon the global community, let us turn promises into action and action into measurable results. Let us ensure accountability at every level, local, national, regional, and global. Together we can still deliver on the 2030 promise," concluded Dr Devkota.
