relationship between SDG 3 and others

Question 1

SDG 1 + SDG 3

Answer 1

by reducing the number of ppl living in poverty, income increases which increases access to:

nutritious foods to allow children to develop strong immune systems to protect themselves from illness, this can work towards reducing U5MR, a feature of reducing maternal mortality which is a key target of SDG 3

healthcare services during pregnancy and labour, therefore women may be less likely to experience complications during pregnancy, thus reducing maternal mortality rates, a key target of SDG 3

essential medications to effectively manage chronic communicable diseases, such as malaria which works towards ending epidemics of this disease, a key feature of SDG 3

Question 2

SDG 2 + SDG 3

Answer 2

by reducing rates of malnutrition, good H+W can be achieved as:

children who are well-nourished have more developed immune systems and are less likely to die from communicable diseases such as malaria, reducing U5MR (working towards achieving SDG 3)

well-nourished mothers are more likely to give birth to healthy babies that don’t have a low birth weight thus reducing U5MR

well-nourished children are more likely to have adequate energy to attend school, improving health literacy and knowledge on how to prevent communicable diseases like malaria, working towards ending epidemics of this disease which is a key feature of SDG 3

Question 3

SDG 4 + SDG 3

Answer 3

by increasing rates of educated children and adults, good H+W can be achieved as:

educated mothers are more likely to understand the importance of vaccinations in promoting the health of their children, therefore they may be more likely to vaccinate their children working towards reducing infant mortality rates

educated individuals are more likely to have access to increased employment opportunities and resultantly increased incomes, therefore being able to afford there needs and be financially secure and reduce stress and anxiety which promotes mental H+W (a characteristic of preventing non-communicable diseases)

Question 4

SDG 5 + SDG 3

Answer 4

by achieving gender equality, good H+W can be achieved as:

women will have increased access to reproductive health services which can help reduce maternal mortality as they’re being provided with advice on how to take care of yourself to avoid complications during child birth like haemorrhage (working towards achieving
SDG 3)

women will have access to employment and job opportunities which increases their income and allows them to purchase essential medicines to effectively manage chronic communicable diseases, such as malaria which works towards ending epidemics of this disease, a key feature of SDG 3

Question 5

SDG 6 + SDG 3

Answer 5

by increasing access to clean water and sanitation:

kids don’t have to drink contaminated water which decreases immune function and increases risk of contracting water-borne diseases like cholera -> reduces U5MR

girls don’t have to travel long distances to collect water and can instead go to school where they learn about preventing communicable diseases like malaria , working towards reducing epidemics of this disease

Question 6

SDG 13 + SDG 3

Answer 6

by combating climate change:

cleaner energy systems such as walking instead of using cars could reduce air pollution from CO2 emissions, which can help reduce communicable diseases like respiratory conditions thus working towards reducing epidemics of this diseases

sea levels will not rise any further so people won’t be forced into displacement meaning that they have reduced stress and anxiety as they’re able to remain in their homes and not have to search for a new area for them to live thus promoting mental H+W and reducing non-communicable diseases
