3. Good health and well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
SDG 3 aims to ensure health and well-being for all at all ages by improving reproductive, maternal and child health; ending epidemics of major communicable diseases; and lowering non-communicable and mental disorders. It also calls for reducing behavioural and environmental health-risk factors.
In the EU context, monitoring SDG 3 focuses on the topics of healthy lives, determinants of health, causes of death and access to health care.
