 The United Nations Health and Well-Being Goal. Health and Well-Being is a third of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people at all ages. The overall goal is to eliminate a wide range of diseases and address various continuous and emerging health issues. Specific focuses include children's health, maternal mortality, and the spread of HIV and AIDS. Luckily, major strides have already been made, such as increasing life expectancy, access to clean water and sanitation, as well as reducing child and maternal mortality, and diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, polio, HIV, and AIDS. But there's still much to accomplish. Let's put things in perspective to better understand the global impact. Since 1990, 17,000 fewer children die each day, but more than 6 million still don't get to celebrate their fifth birthday. Additionally, maternal mortality has fallen by almost 50% since 1990, but the maternal mortality ratio in developing regions is still 14 times higher than in developed regions. Although the incidence of infectious diseases has decreased overall since 2000, many are still impacted by HIV and AIDS. HIV is the leading cause of death for women of reproductive age worldwide. In 2013, 35 million people were living with HIV. So now that we understand what's going on, what are some of the target goals for this campaign, you ask? Some target goals include reducing the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births, ending preventable infant and child deaths under 5 years old, reducing the neonatal and child's mortality rate in all countries, ending the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases, combating hepatitis and other waterborne diseases, preventing and treating mental health diseases, ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services, achieving universal health coverage and increasing health financing, and supporting the research and development of vaccines and medicines.
