From article:
The Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, continue efforts first mapped out in 2000 with the Millennium Development Goals, which expire later this year. The new goals reflect a changed landscape for top global health priorities, with an emphasis on the rising threat of non-communicable diseases like heart disease and cancer over that of infectious diseases like HIV and malaria. And so the goals have some in the international public health community concerned that years of progress on infectious disease control could become undone and leave the world vulnerable to epidemics.
