Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3 or Global Goal 3) is about "Good health and well-being". Which is essential to sustainable development. There is an urgent need to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues. Similarly, the idea is to determine how universities deal with specific conditions and diseases, and support their academic community. This Goal focused on the importance of ensuring that everyone enjoys healthy lifestyles and well-being at all ages, in order to reach a world free of physical and psychological diseases that can be achieved through high-quality health care systems that provide coverage and protection for all.
Good health is essential to sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda reflects the complexity and interconnectedness of the two. It takes into account widening economic and social inequalities, rapid urbanization, threats to the climate and the environment, the continuing burden of HIV and other infectious diseases, and emerging challenges such as noncommunicable diseases. Universal health coverage will be integral to achieving SDG 3, ending poverty and reducing inequalities. Emerging global health priorities not explicitly included in the SDGs, including antimicrobial resistance, also demand action.
