Who the world is falling short of and even reversing its health targets?

The world is trying to get healthier, but it’s not doing as well as it should, like a team that wants to win a game but keeps missing goals.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game where you all want to collect 10 balls each. The goal is for everyone to have at least 10 balls by the end of the day, so you can go home happy. But some of your friends aren’t collecting as many balls as they need, maybe one friend only collects 5 balls, and another doesn’t get any! That means the whole team isn’t doing as well as it could be.

Health targets are like those goals in the game, things like making sure kids grow up strong or that people don’t get sick too often. But right now, some parts of the world aren’t collecting enough balls, meaning they’re not meeting their health goals. In fact, some places might even be losing balls, which means reversing their progress.

It’s like if a friend started with 10 balls but lost 2 and now has only 8, that's falling short. If the whole team is doing this, then the world isn’t as healthy as it could be.
