Global Goal 3: Good Health & Well-being
What is the Goal?
To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages is important to building prosperous societies.
The new goal for worldwide Good Health promotes healthy lifestyles, preventive measures and modern, efficient healthcare for everyone
Why does it matter?
Despite great strides in improving people’s health and well-being in recent years, inequalities in health care access still persist. More than six million children still die before their fifth birthday each year, and only half of all women in developing regions have access to the health care they need. AND over the last 15 years, the number of childhood deaths has been cut in half. This proves that it is possible to win the fight against almost every disease.
