The resilience of member states of the UN and local/regional communities differs spatially and it could get worse or improve over time. We start in this learning resource with an UN statistics that explain the objective of "Leaving no one being" in the health sector. After finishing the learning resource you should be able to apply your knowledge to other Sustainable Development Goals.
Skilled Health Personell
The following topic addresses the health service delivery and analyzes households and the possibility to attend skilled health personnel if wemon give birth to baby. This learning resource look as introduction on the spatial diversity of access to resources[2].
Southern Asia / Sub-saharan Africa

- Fewer than 30 per cent of births among women in the poorest 20 per cent of households are attended by skilled health personnel or have access to a sufficient health care service,
- compared to over 80 per cent of births in the richest 20 per cent of households[2].
Global Access linked to Poverty
If we consider the attendance to skilled health personnel globally in 2015,
- 43 per cent of births in the richest 20 per cent of households attended globally skilled health personnel and
- among the poorest 20 per cent of poorest households 89 attended globally skilled health personnel[2].
Learning Tasks
- (Sustainable Development Goals) Severe income inequality affects other aspects of sustainable development. Look at Sustainable Development Goals and identify the impact of poverty on the options to contribute to Sustainability.

Explain how this educational aspect affects the economic possibilities, health and protection of their environment.
