The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region is endowed with deep intellectual tradition, interesting cultural diversity, and a strong societal fabric; components of a vibrant platform for promoting health and wellbeing. Health has a central place in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for at least three reasons: Firstly, health is shaped by factors outside of the health sector. Secondly, health can be singled out among several SDGs as it provides a clear lens for examining the progress of the entire development process. Thirdly, in addition to being an outcome, health is also a contributor to achieving sustainable development. Realizing this central role of health in SDGs and the significance of collaboration among diverse sectors, the WHO is taking action. In its most recent General Program of Work 2019-2023 (GPW 13), the WHO has set a target of promoting the health of one billion more people by addressing social and other determinants of health through multi-sectoral collaboration. The WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, through Vision 2023, aims at addressing these determinants by adopting an equity-driven, leaving no one behind approach. Advocating for Health in All Policies, multi-sectoral action, community engagement, and strategic partnerships are the cornerstone for this approach. The focus areas include addressing the social and economic determinants of health across the life course, especially maternal and child health, communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, and injuries. The aspirations are noteworthy - however, recent work in progress in countries has also highlighted some areas for improvement. Joint work among different ministries and departments at country level is essential to achieve the agenda of sustainable development. For collaboration, not only the ministries and departments need to be engaged, but the partnerships with other stakeholders such as civil society and private sector are a necessity and not a choice to effectively pursue achievement of SDGs.

通过在世卫组织东地中海区域对可持续发展目标采取全面的多部门健康行动，实现全民健康。

世卫组织东地中海区域拥有深厚的知识传统，有趣的文化多样性和强大的社会基础；促进健康和福祉的充满活力的平台的组成部分。出于至少三个原因，卫生在可持续发展目标（SDG）中处于中心地位：第一，卫生是由卫生部门之外的因素决定的。其次，可以从几个SDG中挑选出健康，因为它为检查整个开发过程的进度提供了清晰的镜头。第三，健康不仅是结果，而且还是实现可持续发展的重要因素。意识到卫生在可持续发展目标中的核心作用以及各部门之间合作的重要性，世卫组织正在采取行动。在其最新的《 2019-2023年通用工作计划》（GPW 13）中，世界卫生组织制定了一个目标，即通过多部门合作解决社会和其他健康决定因素，从而促进十亿人的健康。世卫组织东地中海区域区域办事处通过《 2023年远景规划》旨在通过采用平等驱动，不遗余力的方法来解决这些决定因素。在所有政策中倡导健康，多部门行动，社区参与和战略伙伴关系是这种方法的基石。重点领域包括解决整个生命过程中健康的社会和经济决定因素，尤其是母婴健康，传染病，非传染病和伤害。这些愿望是值得注意的-但是，各国最近的工作进展也突出了一些需要改进的地方。国家各部委之间的联合工作对于实现可持续发展议程至关重要。为了进行合作，不仅需要各部委的参与，而且与民间社会和私营部门等其他利益攸关方的伙伴关系是必要的，而不是有效追求实现可持续发展目标的选择。
