Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Promoting good health for people of all ages is essential for national development and improving the quality of life for citizens. This requires serious implementation at all levels – individual, community, local, regional, and national – through public awareness campaigns on proper healthcare and avoiding behaviors that pose health risks, adequate and comprehensive distribution of public health personnel, establishing modern, accessible, and quality healthcare service systems, as well as preparing for effective responses to public health emergencies arising from communicable and non-communicable diseases, emerging diseases, accidents, and disasters. While efforts to combat AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other major tropical diseases have made continuous progress through multi-sector cooperation, significant challenges remain, particularly in increasing access to services for at-risk groups with early-stage infections to receive standardized and continuous treatment, preventing transmission to other groups in society, and preventing drug resistance that would make treatment more difficult and require substantially more budget. Furthermore, such operations lack integrated databases for monitoring situations and service outcomes for target groups, resulting in reduced coverage of operations by relevant sectors.
