Objective of the Seminar :

In most parts of the world, the average life expectancy has increased, infant and child mortality rates have declined, and the proportion of malnourished children has decreased over the past decades. Many infectious diseases have receded, owing to improved sanitation, safe drinking water, nutrition, and vaccines. Despite undoubted health advances in many areas, poor health continues to be a constraint on developmental efforts in many developing countries, and India is no exception to this. As a result of economic and social upheaval, environmental degradation, and increasing inequities, human health suffers, particularly that of women and children.

Health has become a central concern in development, both as a contributor to, and an indicator of, sustainable development.  Many of the key determinants of health and disease lie outside the direct control of the health sector such as environment, water and sanitation, education, employment, urban and rural livelihoods, and food security.  Addressing the underlying determinants of health is key to ensuring sustainable development. It is also widely accepted that sustainable development and public health are intricately connected and closely interrelated. Sustainable development cannot occur in countries and regions marked by persistent socio-economic inequalities, widespread diseases and environmental degradation. This seminar explores the interlinkages between population, health and sustainable development, as well as the strategies and measures to achieve the sustainable development goals.
