Introduction

The World Health Organization has a new report. It says that health in the world is not improving fast enough.

Main Body

Many people died between 2020 and 2023. Old people and men died more than others. This stopped the progress of health for ten years. Some things are better. Fewer people have HIV now. But more people have malaria. Also, many people are poor because doctors cost too much money. Dirty air killed many people in 2021. Many children are now too heavy. Also, many countries do not send their health data to the WHO on time.

Conclusion

World health is not good. The world will not meet its 2030 goals.
