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.

Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 69
Healthy average life expectancy (HALE) is the average number of years that a person can expect to live in 'full health' by taking into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury. A disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) is one lost year of 'healthy' life. The sum of these DALYs across the population, or the burden of disease, is the measurement of the gap between current health status and an ideal health situation where the entire population lives to an advanced age, free of disease and disability. DALYs are the years of life lived with a disability adjusted for the severity of disability. Currently DALYs for health conditions or injuries are calculated by summing the years of life lost (YLL) due to premature mortality in the population and the years lost to disability (YLD) for people living with the condition or its consequences.
