Good health and well-being

Goal 3

People

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

What it means

Good health means preventing and treating disease, keeping mothers and babies safe, and making health care affordable.

Key targets

Reduce deaths of mothers and newborns, end epidemics such as AIDS, TB, malaria and hepatitis, and achieve universal health coverage.

Pakistan and this goal

Pakistan still faces high maternal and child death rates, hepatitis C and TB, and is one of the last two countries with wild polio. The Sehat Card programme provides health insurance to many families.
