Arguably, the most common and harmful health issue is that a great many people do not have access to quality remedies. Since the late 1970s, the federal Healthy People Program has been a visible component of the United States’ approach to improving population health. Progress has been limited to many objectives, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of Healthy People in shaping outcomes in the context of a decentralized and uncoordinated US health system.
Healthy People 2020 gives more prominence to health promotion and preventive approaches and adds a substantive focus on the importance of addressing social determinants of health. A new expanded digital interface facilitates use and dissemination rather than bulky printed books as produced in the past. The impact of these changes to Healthy People will be determined in the coming years.

We create an environment where the brightest minds can explore new ideas and find practical resources to create products and services rooted in innovation. We’re activating a network of trailblazers to break down barriers, challenge convention and put healthcare solutions in people’s hands. Animals also share our susceptibility to some diseases and environmental hazards. Because of this, they can sometimes serve as early warning signs of potential human illness. For example, birds often die of West Nile virus before people in the same area get sick with West Nile virus infection.

3.7By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes. 3.4By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being. In low-income countries, modern healthcare is often too expensive for the average person. International healthcare policy researchers have advocated that “user fees” be removed in these areas to ensure access, although even after removal, significant costs and barriers remain.
We initiate projects to address problems with solutions -whether that is a new type of diagnostic, a device or therapy that can help to better manage a disease or infrastructure to improve the organisation of care. We bring the right people together to turn ideas into commercially viable products and services. By promoting collaboration across all sectors, a One Health approach can achieve the best health outcomes for people, animals, and plants in a shared environment. Among human, animal, environmental health, and other relevant partners.
