dc.descriptionThis document provides a data-driven overview of global health challenges and progress related to Sustainable Development Goal 3, focusing on reducing maternal and child mortality, combating epidemics, and promoting universal health coverage. It highlights regional disparities, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where maternal and neonatal mortality remain high due to limited access to skilled health staff. It also documents the burden of communicable diseases—such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria—and the rise of noncommunicable diseases, which account for a growing share of premature deaths. The report explores suicide rates, alcohol-related mortality, and the economic consequences of health care financing, emphasizing how out-of-pocket payments push millions into poverty. Finally, it underscores the need for stronger health data systems to monitor progress effectively, noting significant gaps in death registration and cause-of-death data. The findings are supported by visualizations and global indicators drawn from WHO, World Bank, and other international sources.en
