Summary:While health is specifically addressed in only one of the 17 SDGs, namely SDG 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, health is recognized as a cross-cutting issue that is directly embraced in 28 of the 169 SDG targets [11,12]. [...]other goals – such as those addressing poverty (SDG 1), hunger (SDG 2), gender equality (SDG 5), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), and climate action (SDG 13) – as well as the overarching SDG principle to “leave no-one behind” will have indirect impacts on health. [...]addressing health in the SDGs means achieving both many individual targets and a broader ‘package’ of goals. [...]innovative and scalable approaches are required, including novel partnerships that are guided by principles of ecological and social justice. [...]the two funders that participated at the symposium (ie, SNIS and United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI), which hosts the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and the Newton Fund) offer funding schemes, where international collaboration is mandatory to receive grants.
