Preparedness of the country's healthcare system for a pandemic on the example of Azerbaijan

Abstract

Sustainable development involves the harmonious development of social, economic and environmental subsystems in order to meet the needs of humanity of present and future generations. The tasks of sustainable development include an extensive list of areas, ranging from sustainable trends in increasing economic growth and population to ensuring a high standard of living for the population, accessibility and standards of healthcare, education, environmental safety, etc.

At the present stage, the world community is most acutely facing problems in the social sphere, which emphasize the relevance of social parameters in achieving sustainable development goals. The importance of social indicators is confirmed by the fact that among the 17 formulated by UN sustainable development goals until 2030, more than half are occupied by socially oriented parameters, such as the eradication of poverty, hunger, the availability of healthcare, the quality and accessibility of education, the reduction of inequality, etc.
