Good Health and Well-Being
Goal: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages.

To sustain global development, the health and well-being of all members

of the global community should be ensured and promoted. Common killers
associated with child and maternal mortality should be reduced. Cases of
malaria, tuberculosis, polio, and the other spread of HIV/AIDS should also be
lessened. Moreover, access to clean water and knowledge of good sanitation
should be increased.
Some Facts Related to Good
Health and Well-Being of Children
and Mothers

more likely to survive then children of mothers with n education.
Maternal Health

adolescents globally.
• As of 2023, 2.1 million adolescents were living with HIV.
• Over 6.2 million malaria deaths have been averted between 200 and

37% and mortality rates by 58%
• Between 2000 and 2013, tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis and

Clean Water and Sanitation
Clean Water and Sanitation
Goal: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.
Everybody needs a clean water for survival. As part of sustainable
development, the basic need for clean water should be made accessible to all.
There is enough fresh water on the planet on which we live. However, many
people die from diseases that are caused by unclean water or poor water
supply. These problems of the poor quality of water negatively impact the
health conditions of many people all over the world especially from
developing countries. The problem of drought or shortage of water supply
afflicts the people from the poorest countries. It complicates hunger and
malnutrition problems.

• 2.4 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as
toilets or latrines.
• More than 80% of waste water resulting from human activities is
discharged into rivers or season without any population removal.
• Each day, nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and
sanitation-related diarrheal diseases.
• Hydropower is the most important and widely-used renewable source
of energy as of 2011, represented 16% of total electricity production

• Approximately 70% of all water abstracted from rivers, lakes, and
aquifiersis used for irrigation.
