Abstract
Many health policy commitments have come and gone like the Alma Ata Declaration of 1978, Health for all in the 21st century, the Abuja and Ouagadougou Declarations. Another epoch of post-2000, known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has passed; and the post-2015 has dawned upon us whereby we have to renew and rename our developmental goal’s vows. The vows of the current era, as we have come to know them, are referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Post-2015 developmental agenda. The 2000 United Nations (UN) MDG declaration was agreed on by 189 heads of state to achieve eight set goals by the year 2015. Given the progress made in the developed nations such as North America and Europe, Africa still lags behind in achieving envisaged developmental goals, particularly health related developmental goals.
