The global health community has set ambitious goals for 2030. These include the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), which aims to "make sure people of all ages are healthy and feel good," and the World Health Organization's "triple billion" targets: to help one billion more people get Universal Health Care (UHC), protect one billion more people from health emergencies, and help one billion more people have better health.

The world is not on track to meet SDG 3. If the gap in health and healthcare access persists for the 1 billion people with disabilities, achieving SDG 3 will become impossible.
