Goal #3 - Good Health and Wellbeing
Improve health care access, reduce mortality rates and the number of preventable deaths.
What does global health mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRyj6htVvUI
By 2030, the UN wants to achieve…
3.1 Reduction in global maternal mortality to less than 70 per
100,000 births 3.2 Decrease the number of preventable deaths of
new-borns and under 5
3.3 End epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable and water related
diseases. Also reduce by a third the pre-mature mortality from non-communicable diseases
through prevention and treatment.
3.4 Reduce risk factors to health such as narcotic and alcohol abuse, road traffic
accidents, hazardous chemicals and environmental contamination.
3.5 Promote mental health and wellbeing, improve global health coverage including access to
sexual and reproductive health care services.

Facts and Figures
Child health
• 17,000 fewer children die each day than in 1990, but more than six million children still die before
their fifth birthday each year.
• Despite global progress, an increasing proportion of child deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern
Asia. Four out of every five deaths of children under age five occur in these regions.
Maternal health
Globally, maternal mortality has fallen by almost 50% since 1990.
Only half of women in developing regions receive the recommended amount of health care.
At the end of 2013, there were an estimated 35 million people living with HIV. At the end of 2013, 240,000
children were newly infected with HIV.

Communicable Diseases
Effects of COVID-19
• Critical care for people with non-communicable diseases is even more precious in the age of
COVID-19.
• COVID-related disruptions could cause a spike in illness and deaths from other communicable
diseases.
• The pandemic has spotlighted the shortage of medical personnel worldwide as well as the heavy
burden on women as nursing personnel.
Laura Spinney explores the connections between Communicable Diseases, Inequality and COVID-19.

Communicable Diseases
HIV: Globally, HIV incidence among adults aged 15 to 49 declined by 18 per cent from 2010 to 2018.
This Ted Talk gives a 4-minute overview of the causes, effects and challenges of HIV/AIDs.
Malaria: After many years of impressive reductions in the global burden of malaria, progress has stalled.
The WHO warns citizens that COVID-19 could potentially turn back the clock 20 years on progress made.
Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is the world’s top killer from a single infectious agent and the tenth leading
cause of death overall. Scientists have recently explored the connection between the TB vaccine and
COVID-19.

Effects of COVID-19 Childbirth
• COVID-19 could reverse years of progress in reducing maternal and child deaths unless urgent action is
taken!
• The rate of unintended pregnancies could soar if continuity in family planning supplies and services is not
ensured.
• The COVID-19 crisis has interrupted childhood immunization efforts globally, with potentially deadly
consequences.
Maternal mortality: Every day in 2017, approximately 810 women died from preventable causes related to
pregnancy and childbirth. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for about 86 per cent of maternal
deaths globally (UN, 2020). Does racial inequality exist within maternal mortality rates? Wanda Irving explores
here.

Childbirth
Under 5 and neonatal mortality rates: Some 5.3 million children died before reaching their fifth
birthday in 2018 alone; almost half of those deaths, or 2.5 million, occurred within the first 28 days of
life (the neonatal period) (UN, 2020). Al Jazeera explores if and how child mortality rates can be
lowered.
Unintended pregnancies: Currently 76.8% of women of reproductive age (15-49 years) have their need
for family planning satisfied by with modern contraceptive methods. What is the effects on population
growth going forward?

How is the UN going to make all this happen by 2030?
• Strengthen the implementation of the World Health Organization Framework Convention
on Tobacco Control in all countries, as appropriate.
• Support the research and development of vaccines and medicines for the communicable and
non-communicable diseases. In addition, provide access to affordable essential medicines
and vaccines.
• Substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and
retention of the health workforce in developing countries.
• Strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk
reduction and management of national and global health risks.

Irish organisations making a difference
Accredited to the World Health Organisation, the National Healthy Cities and Counties of
Ireland Network was launched in November 2016. The aim of the National Healthy Cities and
Counties of Ireland Network is to develop a structure to support Local Authorities to implement
the Healthy Ireland Framework.
The network (currently 17 networks) aims to: promote lifelong health and wellbeing, provide a
means where local issues can influence national policy, and provide a voice for Ireland in the
WHO Network of European National Healthy Cities Networks. The National Healthy Cities and
Counties of Ireland Network has representatives from government departments, the HSE, the
Institute of Public Health, the Federation of Irish Sport and local political and community
representatives.
