This study explores the appropriateness of health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the countries of the Europe and Central Asia region, and the implications for policy choices at the regional, subregional and country levels. Findings include that, for the region as a whole, proportionately more gains in life expectancy would accrue from the control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) than from achieving the targets in the classic MDGs. Other issues highlighted include the importance of reducing morbidity and premature mortality from NCDs and external causes across the entire region; and the need to focus on the classic MDG indicators (infant mortality rates, under-five mortality rates and maternal mortality ratios) in the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus.

The new European Union member states are on their way to achieving nationally adapted Millennium Development Goals, although some CIS countries suffer from the same levels of poverty found in Africa and need the same level of assistance from the world community. This report says that renewed commitment from governments and the international community is critical if Eastern Europe and CIS countries (Albania; Armenia; Azerbaijan; Belarus; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Czech Republic; Estonia; Georgia; Hungary; Kazakhstan; Kosovo; Kyrgyzstan; Latvia; Lithuania; Malta; Montenegro; Macedonia; Moldova; Poland; Romania; Russian Federation; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Tajikistan; Turkey; Turkmenistan; Ukraine; Uzbekistan), particularly in Central Asia, are to achieve the MDGs by the global target of 2015. The report is intended to serve as a platform for integrating the nationally adapted Millennium Development Goals into country-level poverty alleviation frameworks.--Publisher's description.
