Definition of "Good Health & Well-Being"

"The third goal seeks to:

  • reduce maternal, neonatal, and premature mortality rates;
  • end epidemics of communicable diseases, such as AIDS and malaria;
  • prevent unnecessary deaths from substance abuse, traffic accidents, pollution, and other causes;
  • bolster reproductive and sexual health services;
  • improve vaccine supply and distribution; and
