INTRODUCTIONSDG 3 Ensure Healthy Lives and Promote Wellbeing

INTRODUCTION-SDG 3 Ensure Healthy Lives and Promote Well-being For All at All Ages Ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all at all ages is important to building prosperous societies. MGD ON HEALTH: GOAL 4: Reduce child mortality (nearly 15. 6 million deaths averted by measles vaccine) GOAL 5: Improve maternal health (fallen by almost 50 per cent) GOAL 6: Combat HIV/AIDS and malaria (13. 6 million people accessing antiretroviral, 2014)

FACTS AND FIGURES • 17, 000 fewer children die each day than in 1990, but more than six million children still die before their fifth birthday each year (Source: www. un. org/sustainabledevelopment/health retrieved: 16/06/2017) • antenatal care increased from 65 per cent in 1990 to 83 per cent in 2012 (Source: www. un. org/sustainabledevelopment/health retrieved: 16/06/2017) • As of 2013, 2. 1 million adolescents were living with HIV (Source: www. un. org/sustainabledevelopment/health, retrieved: 16/06/2017)

KEY TARGETS • By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100, 000 live births • By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1, 000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1, 000 live births • By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases
