SDG 3: Ensuring Healthy Lives for All Ages
Targets and Indicators for Healthy Living
WEB SDG 3 aims to prevent needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death by focusing on key targets that boost the health of a country's overall population. With 13 targets and 28 indicators, SDG 3 tracks progress towards various health-related goals.
Specific Targets for Healthy Living
The first nine targets of SDG 3 are outcome-based, measuring specific health outcomes such as reducing maternal mortality and improving access to essential health services. These targets aim to address health disparities among vulnerable populations and combat the negative impacts of climate change on health.
Measuring Progress towards SDGs
To ensure accountability and monitor progress towards achieving SDG 3 targets, a comprehensive indicator framework has been established. The Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) is responsible for developing and refining these indicators.
Conclusion
WEB SDG 3 represents a global commitment to improving health and well-being for all. Its targets and indicators provide a roadmap for governments and organizations to work towards reducing health inequalities, promoting healthy lifestyles, and ensuring access to quality healthcare for everyone.
