PSBU Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3)
Good Health and Well-Being
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations form a universal blueprint aimed at achieving a more equitable, peaceful, and sustainable world by 2030.
Summary of SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being
SDG 3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. While significant progress has been made in reducing maternal and child mortality, non-communicable diseases like cancer and diabetes are on the rise. The goal emphasizes universal health coverage, access to quality essential healthcare services, and tackling global health threats like pandemics and environmental hazards.
