Introduction

Achieve Universal Health Coverage

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is more than a healthcare goal; it’s a reflection of our collective values and aspirations. It’s about ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can access essential health services without financial hardship. It’s about recognizing the interconnectedness of health, well-being, and sustainable development. Achieving UHC by 2030 is a challenge, but it’s one that we can overcome. It requires collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to equity and justice. As professionals in sustainability, we have a unique role to play in this endeavor. We can drive change, shape policies, and make a lasting impact. The future of health and well-being is in our hands. Let’s work together, learn together, and make a change.

TARGET 3.1

Reduce maternal mortality

SDG INDICATOR 3.1.1

Maternal mortality ratio

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.1.1 is the “maternal mortality ratio” in the UN SDG framework.

The maternal mortality ratio refers to the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births” per year.

More research: The Our World in Data topic page on Maternal Mortality gives a long-run perspective over the last centuries and presents research on the causes and consequences of the deaths of mothers.

Additional charts

SDG INDICATOR 3.1.2

Skilled birth attendance

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.1.2 is the “proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel” in the UN SDG framework.

This indicator is measured as the ratio of the births attended by skilled health personnel (generally doctors, nurses, or midwives) who are trained in providing quality obstetric care, to the number of live births in the same period.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births” per year.

TARGET 3.2

End all preventable deaths under 5 years of age

SDG INDICATOR 3.2.1

Under-5 mortality rate

Definition: Indicator 3.2.1 is the “under-5 mortality rate” in the UN SDG framework.

The under-5 mortality rate measures the probability per 1,000 that a newborn baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to age-specific mortality rates of the specified year.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030, “end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births.”

More research: Child mortality is covered more broadly, and with a longer-term perspective in the Our World in Data topic page on Child Mortality.

Additional charts

SDG INDICATOR 3.2.2

Neonatal mortality rate

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.2.2 is the “neonatal mortality rate” in the UN SDG framework.

The neonatal mortality rate is defined as the probability per 1,000 that a child born in a given year will die during the first 28 days of life, if subject to the age-specific mortality rates of that period.

Data on this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030, “end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births.”

TARGET 3.3

Fight communicable diseases

SDG INDICATOR 3.3.1

HIV incidence

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.3.1 is the “number of new HIV infections per 1,000 uninfected population, by sex, age and key populations” in the UN SDG framework.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization, by age group in the first chart and for the 15-49 age group in the second chart. You can change the country shown in the first chart by clicking the “Change country” button in the upper left hand corner.

Target: The target for 2030 is to “end the epidemic of AIDS” across all countries.

The targeted level of reduction is defined by UNAIDS as a 90% reduction in new HIV infections over 2010 levels. For all age groups combined, this would imply a target of around .03 per 1,000, or 3 new infections for every 100,000 uninfected people.

SDG INDICATOR 3.3.2

Tuberculosis incidence

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.3.2 is “tuberculosis incidence per 100,000 population” in the UN SDG framework.

Tuberculosis incidence is the number of new and relapse cases of tuberculosis (TB) per 100,000 people, including all forms of TB.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: The 2030 target is to “end the epidemic of tuberculosis” in all countries.

The World Health Organization’s End TB Strategy defines this targeted level of reduction as a decrease in incidence of 80% over 2015 levels. This would imply a target of around 28 cases per 100,000 population globally.

SDG INDICATOR 3.3.3

Malaria incidence

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.3.3 is “malaria incidence per 1,000 population” in the UN SDG framework.

Malaria incidence is the number of new cases of malaria in one year per 1,000 people at risk.

Data on this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “end the epidemic of malaria” in all countries.

To achieve this target, the WHO Global Technical Strategy has set a target of reducing incidence by 90% by 2030 from 2015 levels. This would imply a target of 6 or fewer cases of malaria per 1,000 people globally in 2030.

SDG INDICATOR 3.3.4

Hepatitis B incidence

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.3.4 is “Hepatitis B incidence per 100,000 population” in the UN SDG framework.

Hepatitis B incidence is the number of new cases of hepatitis B in one year per 100,000 people in a given population. This is measured indirectly as the share of children under 5 years of age with an active Hepatitis B infection, as measured by an Hepatitis B surface antigen test.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “combat hepatitis” in all countries with a focus on hepatitis B. The targeted level of reduction, however, is not defined.

SDG INDICATOR 3.3.5

Neglected tropical diseases

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.3.5 is the “number of people requiring interventions against neglected tropical diseases” in the UN SDG framework.

This is defined as the number of people who require interventions (treatment and care) for any of the 20 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) identified by the WHO NTD Roadmap and World Health Assembly resolutions. Treatment and care is broadly defined to allow for preventive, curative, surgical or rehabilitative treatment and care.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “end the epidemic of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)” in all countries.

The associated WHO target is a 90% reduction in the number of people requiring interventions against NTDs from 2010 baseline levels. This implies a target of 219 million people needing interventions against NTDs in 2030.

TARGET 3.4

Reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote mental health

SDG INDICATOR 3.4.1

Mortality rate from non-communicable diseases

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.4.1 is the “mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease” in the UN SDG framework.

This is defined as the percent of 30-year-old-people who would die before their 70th birthday from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, or chronic respiratory disease, assuming that they would experience current mortality rates at every age and would not die from any other cause of death (e.g. injuries or HIV/AIDS).

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment” in all countries.

SDG INDICATOR 3.4.2

Suicide rate

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.4.2 is the “suicide mortality rate” in the UN SDG framework.

The suicide mortality rate is the number of deaths from suicide measured per 100,000 people in a given population.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “promote mental health and wellbeing”. There is no defined target level of reduction for this indicator.

TARGET 3.5

Prevent and treat substance abuse

SDG INDICATOR 3.5.1

Coverage of treatment interventions for substance use disorders

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.5.1 is the “coverage of treatment interventions (pharmacological, psychosocial and rehabilitation and aftercare services) for substance use disorders” in the UN SDG framework.

This is the share of people with substance use disorders in a given year who receive treatment in the form of pharmacological, psychosocial, rehabilitation or aftercare services. Data coverage in household surveys of substance use disorders is limited in many countries, and efforts are currently in progress to better estimate this indicator.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualizations. The first chart shows the share of the population with an alcohol use disorder in each country, and the second chart shows coverage of treatment interventions for certain types of substance use disorder for the countries where this data is available.

Target: By 2030 “strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol” across all countries. However, there is no defined target level for this indicator.

SDG INDICATOR 3.5.2

Alcohol consumption per capita

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.5.2 is the “harmful use of alcohol, defined according to the national context as alcohol per capita consumption (aged 15 years and older) within a calendar year in litres of pure alcohol” in the UN SDG framework.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol” across all countries. However, there is no defined target level for this indicator.

TARGET 3.6

Reduce road injuries and deaths

SDG INDICATOR 3.6.1

Halve the number of road traffic deaths

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.6.1 is the “death rate due to road traffic injuries” in the UN SDG framework.

Road traffic deaths include vehicle drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Data for this indicator is shown in the first chart in the series of interactive visualizations. The second chart shows the absolute number of road traffic deaths for additional context.

Target: By 2020 “halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents.”

While most SDG targets are set for 2030, this was set to be achieved for 2020.

Note that the SDG Indicator is the rate of road deaths while the target is set for the absolute number of road deaths. Because of this, the interactive visualization shows, in the first chart, the road traffic death rate, and in the second chart, the number of road traffic deaths.

TARGET 3.7

Universal access to sexual and reproductive care, family planning and education

SDG INDICATOR 3.7.1

Family planning needs

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.7.1 is the “proportion of women of reproductive age (aged 15–49 years) who have their need for family planning satisfied with modern methods” in the UN SDG framework.

This indicator incorporates two components, the prevalence of modern methods of contraception, and the share of women of reproductive age who want to stop or delay childbearing but are not using any method of contraception.

It is measured as the percent of women of reproductive age (15-49 years) who are currently using at least one modern contraceptive method, out of the total population of women who have demand for contraceptive methods (defined as those using contraception of any form or who have unmet need for contraception).

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including for family planning, information and education.”

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualizations, which show, in the first chart, adolescent birth rates per 1,000 women aged 10-14 years old, and in the second chart, women aged 15-19 years old.

Target: By 2030 “ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including for family planning.”

TARGET 3.8

Achieve universal health coverage

SDG INDICATOR 3.8.1

Coverage of essential health services

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.8.1 is “coverage of essential health services” in the UN SDG framework.

Coverage of essential health services is defined as the average coverage of essential services based on tracer interventions that include reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and service capacity and access, among the general and the most disadvantaged population.

The Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Service Coverage Index is used to track progress on this indicator. The index is on a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is the optimal value, and calculated from the geometric mean of 14 indicators measuring the coverage of essential services including reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and service capacity and access.

This is measured as the number of deaths attributed to indoor and outdoor air pollution per 100,000 people, accounting for differences in the age structure of different populations.

Data for this indicator is shown in the series of interactive visualizations, first for household and ambient air pollution combined, then for each separately, and then with a comparison of the two types of pollution in the final chart.

Target: By 2030 “substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.” There is, however, not a defined target level for this indicator.

SDG INDICATOR 3.9.2

Mortality rate from unsafe water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH)

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.9.2 is the “mortality rate attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene” in the UN SDG framework.

This indicator is defined as the number of deaths per 100,000 people that are attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation, and lack of hygiene (defined as exposure to unsafe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene for All (WASH) services). This definition includes deaths from diarrhoea, intestinal nematode infections, malnutrition and acute respiratory infections.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.” There is, however, not a defined quantified target level for this indicator.

This measures the annual number of deaths per 100,000 people that are attributed to unintentional poisonings.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.” There is, however, not a defined quantified target level for this indicator.

TARGET 3.A

Implement the WHO framework convention on tobacco control

SDG INDICATOR 3.A.1

Prevalence of tobacco use

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.a.1 is the “age-standardized prevalence of current tobacco use among persons aged 15 years and older” in the UN SDG framework.

This measures the share of people aged 15 and older who currently use any tobacco product, whether smoked or smokeless tobacco. This includes both people who use tobacco on a daily basis as well as those who use it on a non-daily basis but have used it at some point in the last 30 days before the survey. Age-standardization accounts for differences in age distributions between countries.

Data for this indicator is shown in the interactive visualization.

Target: By 2030 “strengthen the implementation of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in all countries, as appropriate.” There is no specified target level of tobacco use for this indicator.

TARGET 3.B

Support research, development and access to affordable vaccines and medicines

SDG INDICATOR 3.B.1

Vaccine coverage

Definition of the SDG indicator: Indicator 3.b.1 is the “proportion of the target population covered by all vaccines included in their national programme” in the UN SDG framework.

The UN currently includes the four following vaccines in this indicator: three-dose diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT3); second-dose measles vaccine; recommended dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV3) and recommended dose of human papillomavirus vaccine.

Data on this indicator is shown across the four interactive visualizations.

Target: By 2030 “provide access to affordable essential medicines and vaccines.”

For this indicator, this means universal coverage of the vaccines noted above (if included in national vaccination programmes) must be achieved by 2030.

SDG INDICATOR 3.B.2

Development assistance to medical research & basic healthcare

Definition: Indicator 3.b.2 is the “total net official development assistance (ODA) to medical research and basic health sectors” in the UN SDG framework.

No poverty

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 1

End poverty in all its forms everywhere

The UN explains: Extreme poverty rates have fallen by more than half since 1990. While this is a remarkable achievement, one-in-five people in developing regions still live on less than $1.90 a day. Millions more make little more than this daily amount and are at risk of slipping back into extreme poverty.

Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG1) aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. The visualizations and data below present the latest data on our progress there.

Longer-term trends, correlates and additional data on extreme poverty can be found at the Our World in Data entry on Global Extreme Poverty.

The UN has defined 7 Targets and 14 Indicators for SDG 1. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Target 1.1: Eradicate extreme poverty

By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.90 a day.

UN definition
SDG INDICATOR 1.1.1

Eradicate extreme poverty

Definition: Indicator 1.1.1 is the proportion of population below the international poverty line, by sex, age, employment status and geographical location (urban/rural).

The “international poverty line” is defined as $1.90 per day (updated from the previous poverty line of $1.25 to $1.90 in 2015).

This poverty line is measured in “international dollars” which are a hypothetical currency that adjusts for price differences between countries (purchasing power parity) and it is measured in prices of 2011 to adjust for price changes over time (inflation).

Goal: By 2030 eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.90 a day.

More research: Further data and research can be found at the Our World in Data entry on Global Extreme Poverty.

Additional charts:
