SDG 3 - Good health and wellbeing

Over the past 15 years, childhood deaths have been cut in half, proving it’s possible to win the fight against nearly every disease. Still, we spend astonishing amounts of money and resources on treating illnesses that are often easy to prevent. The new goal for global Good Health promotes healthy lifestyles, preventive measures, and efficient healthcare for everyone.

We work to ensure optimal health and wellbeing across multiple societal groups, from the youngest to oldest members of society, to elite athletes and individuals with significant health and wellbeing challenges. We promote healthy lives and physical, social and mental wellbeing across Liverpool, while our research aims to help with prevention, intervention and postvention of suicide and other global heath challenges.
