Introduction
The Sustainable Development
Goal (SDG) 3 “Ensuring a
healthy life and promoting
well-being for all ages” is one
of the most transversal goals,
which is interconnected with
the other SDGs. The health
and well-being are the aim of
this goal and also, they are
the result of other goals that
empower people to develop
better in different social,
economic and productive
areas. The SDG 3 is a multiple
and universal resource on
which
sustainable
development policies can be
based, in particular for the
most needed countries, and
can lead to the sustainable
maintenance of well-being
and health. However, SDG 3
faces a high sectorization, so
there is a risk of not being
able to achieve the stated
objectives. Physical wellbeing
depends on general
good health and the
satisfaction of the body’s
primary needs, whereas
psychological well-being is a
more abstract notion that
depends on personal
evaluations and can appeal to
social or economic success,
pleasure, and harmony with
oneself, other persons or the
environment. Individual and
collective health and wellbeing
constitute an
extraordinary resource that
acts on social and economic
development, bringing a
return of better health and
well-being of the populations
that endorse it.
