poverty, illiteracy and ill-health.

The health-related MDGs do not cover all the health issues that matter
to poor people and poor countries. But they do serve as markers of the
most basic challenges ahead: to stop women dying during pregnancy and
child birth; to protect young children from ill-health and death; and to
tackle the major communicable diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS....."
