Good Health &
Human Wellbeing
Health is a fundamental human right and a key indicator of sustainable
development. Impaired health threatens children’s rights to education,
reduces the economic prospects of both men and women, and increases
the level of poverty in communities and countries worldwide. Over and
above being a cause of poverty, health is impacted by poverty and is
directly related to several other aspects of sustainable development,
including water and sanitation, equal gender rights, climate change, and
peace and stability.
