gender equality), provide better data for all women and girls, and achieve universal coverage of skilled birth attendants. Target 3.2: End all preventable deaths under five years of age The full text of Target 3.2 is: "By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under‑5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births." Indicator 3.2.1: Under-5 mortality rate. The under-5 mortality rate measures the number of children per 1,000 live births who die before their fifth birthday. Indicator 3.2.2: Neonatal mortality rate. The neonatal mortality rate is defined as the share of newborns per 1,000 live births in a given year who die before reaching 28 days of age. Globally, the risk for children dying before age five was reduced by 44 per cent since 2000, reaching 43 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015. Still, a large number of preventable deaths remain, with about 16,000 children under the age of five dying every day in 2015. The neonatal mortality rate declined from 31 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2000 to 19 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015. Though neonatal mortality is decreasing, the proportion of the global under-five mortality is increasing, signalling a need to ramp up focus on antenatal care programs. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 results in fewer women and their babies having access to lifesaving care. This is because many healthcare facilities are even more short-staffed and under-equipped than usual. This can negatively impact the under-five mortality rate as well as the neonatal mortality rate. Target 3.3: Fight communicable diseases The full text of Target 3.3 is: "By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases." Indicator 3.3.1: Number of new HIV infections per 1,000 uninfected population Indicator 3.3.2: Tuberculosis per 100,000 population Indicator 3.3.3: Malaria incidence per 1,000 population Indicator 3.3.4: Hepatitis B incidence per 100,000 population Indicator 3.3.5: Number of people requiring interventions against neglected tropical disease Target 3.3 proposes to end the preventable death of newborns and children under five and to end epidemics such as AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and water-borne diseases, for example. Similarly, progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation and
