Abstract
The "Not Another SDG 3 Booklet" booklet provides a comprehensive overview of SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being, addressing the interconnected factors influencing health outcomes. It emphasizes the need for a shift from addressing symptoms to addressing root causes of poor health, focusing on equity, accessibility, and environmental and climate justice. The booklet highlights the critical interlinkages with other SDG targets and key issues affecting communities, such as inadequate access to healthcare, health disparities, environmental degradation, and mental health stigma. In terms of monitoring, the UN and the EU propose comprehensive approaches to track progress in global health development, emphasizing interconnected health issues and customized monitoring at the local level. The booklet also discusses EU policy initiatives, barriers, and challenges to achieving SDG 3, including inequity, weak health systems, disease outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change. It outlines actions taken by local governments and communities to support universal health coverage, promote health education and literacy, increase access to essential medicines and vaccines, support research and innovation, and collaborate for better health outcomes. The booklet addresses the current status of SDG 3, indicating both progress and challenges in achieving the goal, such as decreasing unmet medical care needs and fatal accidents, while life expectancy and healthy life expectancy stagnate. It also provides a good practice example of Universal Health Coverage in Finland, highlighting the success of the Finnish healthcare system in delivering comprehensive and equitable healthcare services to all residents. The booklet is a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of achieving SDG 3 and the efforts required to promote good health and well-being worldwide.
