Goal 3: Good health and well-being
The goal is divided into several sub-goals. The first sub-goals are to reduce maternal (3.1), newborn and child mortality (3.2) and to eliminate AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, hepatitis and other communicable diseases (3.3). It also aims to reduce premature mortality and promote mental health (3.4), reduce substance abuse (3.5), halve deaths and injuries from road accidents (3.6) and ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health care (3.7). Similarly, universal health coverage with access to quality health services and affordable medicines and vaccines will be introduced (3.8) and deaths and illnesses from chemicals, air, water and soil pollution will be significantly reduced (3.9).
To this end, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control should be strengthened (3.a) and research and development of vaccines and medicines in developing countries should be supported (3.b). Likewise, health financing and the qualification of health workers in developing countries should be significantly increased (3.c) and the capacities of all countries in the areas of early warning and the management of health risks should be strengthened (3.d).
