SDG 3: GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
The United Nations highlight the critical importance of this third "Sustainable Development Goal." The aim is to make sure that EVERYONE, no matter where they live, can enjoy good health and well-being by 2030.
‘Good health and well-being’ means that people have access to the necessary healthcare services, including safe and affordable medicines and vaccines, and that they live in environments that promote physical and mental health.
It is the responsibility of governments to make sure that no one is left behind when it comes to health. This includes preventing and treating diseases, providing access to quality healthcare services, and making certain that everyone has the chance to lead a healthy life. This also means tackling issues like mental health, road safety, and reducing deaths and illnesses caused by pollution.
EVERYONE has the right to live a healthy life, to access healthcare, and to benefit from a safe and clean environment.
