We have made great progress against several leading causes of death and disease. Life expectancy has increased dramatically; infant and maternal mortality rates have declined, we’ve turned the tide on HIV and malaria deaths have halved.
Good health is essential to sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda reflects the complexity and interconnectedness of the two. It takes into account widening economic and social inequalities, rapid urbanization, threats to the climate and the environment, the continuing burden of HIV and other infectious diseases, and emerging challenges such as noncommunicable diseases. Universal health coverage will be integral to achieving SDG 3, ending poverty and reducing inequalities. Emerging global health priorities not explicitly included in the SDGs, including antimicrobial resistance, also demand action.
But the world is off-track to achieve the health-related SDGs. Progress has been uneven, both between and within countries. There’s a 31-year gap between the countries with the shortest and longest life expectancies. And while some countries have made impressive gains, national averages hide that many are being left behind. Multisectoral, rights-based and gender-sensitive approaches are essential to address inequalities and to build good health for all.
Samarkand Institute of Economics and Service has established collaborative relationships with healthcare organizations and institutions to ensure the health of academic staff, administrative staff and students.
1. Specifically, in 2023, SIES organized 25 events on the topics of "We Are Against AIDS" and "We Are Against Drugs." More than 100 professors, staff, and students participated in the "I Am a Donor" campaign and happily helped to the patients in need of blood.

6. As we know clean air is very important for the human body and the trees help us with this. SIES is the part of the "Green Space" project. In the framework of this project more than 1000 saplings have been planted at SIES. In addition, trees at the institute area are assigned to individual staff members, who take care of each tree personally.
