I'd say it only needs too, poverty and education. Disease disappears with decent healthcare systems, so removing poverty would help that considerably. And if no-one is poor, why does everyone need to be equal? Can't we have those living comfortably and those in luxury? Trying to make everyone equal makes solving poverty, a much more important target, far harder.
You could even contend that only one of poverty and education need to be solved, as removing poverty means education is affordable, and providing education generally leads to a reduction in poverty.
However how do you get either of them to start without the other? I think improving communication systems would do it, combined with a free market worldwide - if mobility of people and resources is much better, then it doesn't matter where people are. Thus people in poorer countries will be employed, so much so that they can demand higher wages, and people in developed countries have to accept lower, as people are undercutting them. This means, while the first world will get poorer relatively, the developing world will gain. These workers will need to be trained, thus schools will be started, not to mention the money from the increased prosperous employment meaning they can build them themselves.
The free market, the great equalizer - it just takes a long time, or much better resource mobility and communication systems.
