Introduction
In 2015 general assembly of United Nations, the global members of UN set a
collection of sustainable development goals for the year 2030. The main aims of these goals
are to achieve sustainable global development by 2030 (United Nations, 2018). There were
17 goals in the agenda of UN including no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being,
quality education etc. Good health and well-being is the third major goal of UN because
health and sustainable development are closely interlinked with each other (Eckermann,
2018). Health people are the basic and primary requirement of a happy, healthy, growing,
prosperous, and secure society. This report helps to understand the global initiatives and
present status of SDG-3 to achieve the sustainable growth target by 2030. This report helps to
understand about the present status of the whole world to prevent disease and progress of
SDG-3 and likelihood of this goal being met by 2030. The report also covers two thematic
areas of assessment such as infectious disease and environmental risk.

SDG-3
The third goals of SDG is ‘Good health and well-being’ for all people by 2030. This
goal is almost soul of development because a developed and prosperous society is only
possible if the people are healthy and happy in the society. The major target for this goal is to
reduce the child mortality and maternal mortality first (Ordunez & Campbell, 2016). This is
the common killers associated with the society that helps the public health and well-being.
Apart from this, this goal aims to provide all the health facilities for people and ensure that
people will get clean water and sanitation. The aim of this goal is to reduce the infectious
disease from the society such as malaria, polio, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, etc. (United
Nations, 2018). This goal aims that every country will focus on to provide better healthcare
facilities to the people and educate them about the importance of sanitation and clean water
(Norheim, Jha, Admasu, Godal, Hum, Kruk, & Suraweera, 2015). Apart from this, one of the
key goals of this SDG is to reduce the adolescent pregnancy and provide skilled birth
attendants to the pregnant women so child mortality and maternal mortality can easily be
reduced in future (Norheim, Jha, Admasu, Godal, Hum, Kruk, & Suraweera, 2015).
