Health Goal

Health goal states the outcome a public health program was actually built to achieve. Wikipedia notes the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began "just after the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate the disease poliomyelitis," a specific, measurable target rather than a general aim. This dimension groups programs that share the same kind of health goal.
