The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in September 2015 as successors to the Millennium Development Goals, establish health goals for both developing and developed countries, further strengthening international efforts to “leave no one behind.” SDG 3 aims to "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" by implementing Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which is defined by fourteen tracing indicators in four areas of coverage of essential health services as Target 3.8.1, including reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and service capacity and access. This study examines the utility of national statistics and administrative reports according to UN metadata for these indicators in Japan and reviews the monitoring status and international partnership of OECD countries for supporting developing countries.
