Dear Professor Evens Emmanuel, I would like to thank you for your great contribution to the answers to my question. The articles and academic works that you had passed to me will be very useful to the literature, which I am in the process of writing on this question.

Furthermore, I appreciate your proposal; I accept it with a lot of interest. The electronic conference could be a big contribution to the exhortation to global health innovation and reform launched this week by The Lancet journal, Vol.8, #3, March 2020 (perhaps before by others) to the global health community. I invite you to read this article if you have not already done so (https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(19)30556-X). You will be even more convinced of the importance of your proposal.

We will discuss more about the organization and the idea will go out through scientific social media. We will see what the feedback will be.

I think it is impossible in this case to immediately propose a single universal scenario. National strategies (programs) for health development should be based on an anadysis of the local context, identifying problems specific to the national health system and analyzing best international practices (based on a synthesis of the best evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyzes)

I agree with the thinking of Vitaliy Koikov, it is extremely difficult to develop an approach capable of accelerating progress in global health in developing countries. Several critical conditions must first be retained. What are the levels of local ownership of global health goals? (i) Primary health care? (ii) Health for all? (iii) National water and sanitation coverage? (iv) Number of health professionals (all fields combined) per million inhabitants? ...

The question of the identification at national level of the specific problems of the national health system, as raised by Vitaliy Koikov, and its analysis in the light of global proposals or conventions adopted at international level can serve as basic elements in the methodological development of national health plans and strategies, particularly in developing countries.

Dear Ammcise, your question is very relevant. It addresses an overall issue, which could take into account several variables. I have allowed myself to share with you papers published in journals, WHO publications and academic works. Reading the summaries of this work leads me to question the feasibility of a small electronic conference on this topic. I leave it to you to react to this proposal. Best regards.

Thank you Mr. Vitaliy Koikov for your answer! I totally agree with your comment. No single universal scenario can solve the problem of health development for all countries. Each country should develop its own according to its reality, its needs and its means.

At the same time, I am looking for any idea (approach) that could help reduce the gap between the reality of poor countries and the accessibility of health care less than a decade before the deadline of SDG; ideas that each country will certainly have to adapt, but which would bring the world health community closer to SDG3.

The literature on the question is quite abundant, many strategies have already been proposed, but in poor countries, real progress is still to come. Perhaps new approaches could be explored .

Furthermore, what do you think about Evens Emmanuel's proposal to organize an electronic conference on that issue? Will you be interested in contributing?

Dear Ammcise Apply

In my view, there is no blueprint for SDGs. The Sustainable Development Goals are a global aspiration to nurture a positive transformation. They will be implemented in different ways, depending on country needs and institutional/cultural conditions.

As such, they are not to be pursued in isolation. For example, health relates to access to health services, that can be linked to employment benefits, the environment, gender empowerment in family planning (e.g. reproductive health), water and sanitation and innovation.

In order to accelerate any SDG, we need to think about their synergies and trade-offs in policies and implementation, taking into account that different national/cultural settings require various configurations and strategies.

Hope this is useful.

Best wishes,

Lucas

In my setting access to secondary and tertiary NCDs services are critical if we are attain the 25% relative risk reductions by 2025% and one third reduction in premature mortality by 2030. Unfortunately , its being priorritised by health ministry due to resources constrained. Is there any support out there for collaboration to support our region of Northern Uganda.
