academy for social change presents
sustainable development goal three
good health and well-being in recent
years medical innovations have improved
health across the globe
however the benefits of these
technologies are unequally distributed
only half the world's population has
access to essential health services
and many who do have access struggle to
afford it progress has slowed when it
comes to combating major diseases
including malaria and tuberculosis
maternal mortality has declined overall
but significantly fewer women in
sub-saharan africa
had skilled birth attendants than women
elsewhere in 2018 putting them at higher
mortality risk
in 2017 only 67 percent of people had
the necessary doses of the vaccines to
prevent measles which causes death and
disability
to address these disparities and improve
global health the united nations has set
forth sdg3
sdg3 aims to ensure healthy lives and
promote well-being for all at all ages
sdg3 has 13 targets or more detailed
ideas about what achieving good health
and well-being really means
one target is to reduce global maternal
mortality ratio
to under 70 per 100 000 live births by
2030.
another target aims to end the spread of
communicable diseases which are diseases
spread from person to person
like hiv and hepatitis other targets
seek to prevent and treat substance
abuse promote mental health
make universal health coverage a reality
and help all countries prepare for
global health risks
progress in many of the target areas is
continuing however the rate of that
progress has slowed especially because
of the covet 19 crisis
which led to his resurgence and many
other diseases that were previously
declining
like tuberculosis and malaria especially
in sub-saharan africa
as of 2020 the current rate of
improvement will be insufficient to meet
the targets
still the world is making headway on
sdg3 for example
denmark and the netherlands provide
almost entirely free healthcare for all
registered citizens
in 2014 under 0.2 percent of the
netherlands population
was left without insurance in the
following year the netherlands publicly
financed 77 percent of
all curative health services and while
the netherlands provides more benefits
than most other countries
it does not guarantee health care
services to undocumented immigrants
while big organizations and governments
must take action you can also help the
world meet sdg3
you can spread the message about health
for all through social media and educate
yourself online
use your voice to advocate for people
who are least likely to have access to
health care
migrants low-income communities and
people of color you can also donate to
organizations like doctors without
borders which gives medical assistance
to those affected by extreme
circumstances
or excluded from health care or the
national immigration law center which
helps give immigrants access to health
care these small steps can help the
world achieve
sdg3 now it's your time to think further
as discussed health disparities are tied
to race immigration and poverty
can you name some other issues you think
might also be related
