COVID-19 underlines the urgency of making progress on the health-related Sustainable Development Goals. The Government has ambitious strategic objectives on global health, including manifesto commitments on ending preventable deaths of mothers, new-borns and children by 2030, and leading the way in eradicating Ebola and malaria. The Prime Minister has set out a five-point plan to work with others to strengthen global health security, including through our G7 Presidency. The Government has no immediate plans to publish a global health strategy. We will look at how our approach should evolve in light of lessons from the pandemic and the outcomes from the Integrated Review.
