Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Significant progress has been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common causes of child and maternal mortality.

Major progress has been achieved in combating infectious diseases. However, many regions still face challenges such as insufficient health systems, limited access to medicines, and emerging global health threats like pandemics and pollution-related illnesses.

The SDGs aim to achieve universal health coverage, ensure access to safe and affordable medicines and vaccines for all, and promote mental health and well-being. Strengthening healthcare systems, increasing health financing, and improving early warning and risk reduction are key strategies toward this goal.
