1. INTRODUCTION
The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight goals that all 191
UN member states have agreed to try to achieve by the year 2015. The United
Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000 commits world leaders
to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and
discrimination against women. The MDGs are derived from this Declaration, and
all have specific targets and indicators. The Eight Millennium Development Goals
are:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;
2. Achieve universal primary education;
3. Promote gender equality and empower women;
4. Reduce child mortality;
5. Improve maternal health;
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases;
7. Ensure environmental sustainability; and
8. Develop a global partnership for development.
The MDGs are inter-dependent; all the MDG influence health, and health influences
all the MDGs. For example, better health enables children to learn and adults to earn.
Gender equality is essential to the achievement of better health. Reducing poverty,
hunger and environmental degradation positively influences, but also depends on,
better health.1 The MDGs are an eight-point road map with measurable targets and
clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world's poorest people. World leaders
have agreed to achieve the MDGs by 2015.2 The MDGs outline major development
priorities to be achieved by 2015. Numerical targets are set for each goal and are
monitored by 48 indicator.3

4. FINDINGS
4.1 Nepal government effort in health related MDGs
Nepal is one of 189 countries committed to the MDGs, a pledge it has renewed in its
national development plans. The primary medium‐term strategy and implementation
plan for reaching its MDGs, the Tenth Plan; Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper;
2002/03–2006/07 incorporated the MDGs into its strategic framework. The Three-
Year Interim Plan 2006/07–2009/10 adopted after the Tenth Plan maintained the
focus on poverty reduction and growth but also stressed the need for the state to
assume a greater strategic presence in development, especially in remote areas, and
for socially marginalized groups to be included. The plan after that, the Three- Year
Plan 2010/11–2013/14, continued the call for strategic investment in areas in need of
greater focus if Nepal’s MDGs are to be achieved.5
UNDP and the other UN agencies in Nepal are actively supporting the Government in
fulfilling its commitment to the MDGs. The Local Governance and Community
Development Program, a large-scale joint program of UNDP, UNCDF, UNICEF,
UNFPA, UN Women and UNV on effective service delivery at the local level has
been in operation since 2009 which will help create enabling environment at local
level in achieving MDGs. UN agencies are also supporting the government in
implementing various programs on the ground in the area of poverty reduction
and employment.
4.2. Current situation of health related MDGs
MDGs 4; Reduce child mortality, 5; improved maternal health and 6; Combat
HIV/AIDS, malaria and other disease are directly related to Health.
Despite the political instability during the post-conflict period, Nepal has already
exceeded a few MDG targets for 2015, under-five mortality rate per 1,000 live births
;attained 50 against the target of 54, maternal mortality ratio (per 100,000 live births,
and death rate associated with TB ;per 100,000 of population.6
MDGs Progress Report 2013 points out, the Government of Nepal’s commitment to
achieving the MDGs, coupled with required policy reforms has borne fruit. Nepal is
on track and is likely to achieve most of its MDG targets, despite the prolonged
political instability. The targets for poverty reduction, maternal mortality, and boys
8

15.
and girls enrollment in primary education are either achieved or likely to be achieved.
Even in areas where Nepal is lagging behind, particularly in sanitation, it has already
internalized an acceleration framework in the form of the MDG Acceleration
Framework to mobilize adequate resources to expedite progress by 2015.
4.2.1. MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality
Target: Reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds between 1990 and
2015.
Childhood mortality declined markedly over the past 20 years, between 1990 and
2011. IMR declined from 108 to 46 and the U5MR from 162 to 54 per 1,000 live
births. The NMR is proving more stubborn. While NMR did drop considerably
between 2001 and 2006, from 43 to 33 per 1,000, it did not decline any further
between 2006 and 2011.

Drastic decline in MMR from 850 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to
just 281 in 2006, Nepal is well on track to meet its targets for MDG 5. In fact,
according to the maternal mortality and morbidity study carried out in eight districts
in 2009, the MMR was 229 per 100,000 live births, just slightly above the 2015 target
of 213; and, in 2012 it was estimated that Nepal’s MMR was 170 in 2010, Post-partum
hemorrhage is main cause followed by pre-eclamsia/eclampsia, abortion
complications, obstructed labor, other direct causes, and puerperal sepsis. Now day’s
women deliver with the help of a SBA has increased.

TARGET 5B: Target 5B: Achieve Universal access to reproductive health by
2015.
Nepal considers family planning services as an integral part of maternal health. The
large reduction in the MMR between 1990 and 2006 has, in part, been attributed to
the increased use of family planning services. Under NHSP-II, the government
increased its investment in family planning and developed a strong policy framework
so that it could meet the MDG targets of 67 percent contraceptive prevalence and total
fertility 2.5 by 2015.

4.2.3. Goal 6: Combat HIV/ AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
Target 6A: Have halted and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015
Target 6B: Achieve universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who
need it by 2010
HIV infection continues to be confined within certain population groups. It is a
‘concentrated epidemic’ with PWIDs, MSM, and FSWs, in these groups that have the
highest rates of infection. In 80 percent of cases, the infection is transmitted sexually.
Males who migrate to India for work and visit FSWs are the bridging populations that
transmit HIV to low-risk populations, primarily rural women. Effective interventions
to stop the spread of HIV through preventive measures have been implemented,
particularly among key high-risk population groups such as PWID, MSM, FSWs, and
CSWs.

18.
Access to basic HIV-related services such as VCT for HIV and other STIs should be
expanded through integration with reproductive health and PHC services and the TB
control program. Effective VCT services should be provided at every PHCC
throughout the country to maximize access. NGOs and community based organization
can provide services to high-risk groups, labor migrants and populations residing in
remote areas, so their role should be expanded in coordination with government line
agencies and other stakeholders.

According to DoHS 2011, about 45 percent of the total population is infected with
TB, and of them 60 percent are adult. Every year, 40,000 people develop active TB,
and of them half are infectious and could spread the disease. The prevalence and
death rates associated with TB per 100,000 people declined markedly between 1990
and 2011, from 460 to 238 and 43 to 21 respectively and the proportion of TB cases
detected increased slightly, from 70 in 2001 to 73 in 2011. The proportion of TB

20.
cases cured under DOTS was 90 percent in 2011, a level that, commendably, it has
maintained for the last decade. Given that even the number of multi-drug resistant
cases, which are more difficult to eradicate, is constant, Nepal is on track to achieve
the MDG of 91 percent.
The NTC developed a comprehensive national strategy for the period from 2010 to
2015, the National Tuberculosis Plan that builds on the previous one and outlines an
enhanced and more focused commitment to tackling the TB epidemic, consistent with
Nepal’s MDGs and Stop TB Partnership targets.

4.3. Post MDG Health agenda of United Nation
There is wide debate as to what development goals the global community should set
next. The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed a High-level
Panel to advice on the global development agenda beyond 2015. In January 2012, the
UN System Task Team on the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda was established.

21.
The United Nations Development Group is leading efforts to catalyze a “global
conversation” on the post-2015 agenda through a series of global thematic
consultations and more than 50 national consultations. The post-2015 development
framework is likely to have the best development impact if it emerges from an
inclusive, open and transparent process with multi-stakeholder participation.7
Health priorities in the post-2015 era should include accelerating progress on the
present health MDGs, advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights, reducing
NCDs and their risk factors, and improving mental health. Many contributors argue
that the new agenda needs to make people the priority in global health, not diseases. A
two-pronged approach is needed: tackling the underlying determinants that cause or
contribute to ill health, and creating health systems that are proactive, preventive, and
can provide care throughout an individual’s life, with ongoing management for all
health issues, including public health. Health goals and indicators in the next
development agenda should encourage countries to address both these aims, by
measuring not only health outcomes but also the creation of conditions that promote
good health. Alongside the MDGs the post-2015 agenda offers an opportunity to
harness new resources with which to tackle all health challenges in an integrated and
sustainable manner.8

22.
5. CONCLUSION
Health is the central part of sustainable development. If we achieve health related
targets of MDGs we can develop our nation progressively. MDGs are interrelated if
we can work better in health goals there is a positive progression on other MDGs
achievement. Nepal has made significant progress in achieving its MDGs. In fact,
given the difficult context; a decade-long armed conflict, political instability, and
unfinished national political agenda regarding peace-building, constitution writing
and state-restructuring its achievements should be considered remarkable.

6. RECOMMENDATION
 Nepal has a good progress on achieving MDGs the effort should be continue
to achieve remaining targets of MDGS.
 Those targets which are already achieved must be kept in same manner and
sustain it and the programs, efforts shouldn’t discontinue.
 The resources for MDGs must be increases i.e. financial resource, human
resources and other resources.
 Need to integrate health system to community and local governance system in
large scale to achieve sustainable development.
 After MDGs continue the basic 8 goals with some addition new goals of Post-
2015 Global agenda.
 Create healthy environment for United Agencies for their support, investment
for development.
