The transition from MDGs to SDGs, the recent deadly epidemics such as Ebola, as well as terrorist attacks and disasters, force us to build functional, resilient and highly responsive health systems to promote sustainable development, anticipate and minimize risks and make a much better contribution to the protection of the populations. Effective results require the collection of effective information to produce the knowledge needed to make decisions. Better still, the need is expressed more acutely in a follow-up tale of interventions related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the universal health coverage.
