While “sustainability” has become a central aspect of social action and responsibility around the world, its complex and multi-di-
mensional nature requires further explanation.

                                                                In  1964  medical  mission  was  challenged  and  called  to  define  its distinctiveness and its special role in the context of that particular time. The consultation "Tuebingen I" clearly stated:  "The Christian church has a specific task in the field of health and healing"1, and developed a conce...pt of wholeness and of the role of the congregation in health provision. 50 years later, the question of the proprium of Christian health services is again a very important one. At a time when governments, international non-governmental organizations and other philanthropic organizations participate in health care, the question has to be asked: What is the specific contribution of a Christian health service or ministry of healing?  At  a  time  when  chronic  disease  challenges  not  only  rich  but  now  also  poor countries, when infections like Ebola that for years were hidden in Africa pose a threat to the global  situation,  Christians  have  to  reflect  on  the  question  of  the  proprium  of  Christian health care.

Missed targets have resulted in 3.5 million more HIV infections and 820 000 more AIDS-related deaths since 2015 than if the world w...as on track to meet the 2020 targets. In addition, the response could be set back further, by 10 years or more, if the COVID-19 pandemic results in severe disruptions to HIV services.
