  Ensuring Continuum of Quality Care for Healthy Lives and Well being

Working Group discussing SDG 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all stages”

For ensuring continuum of quality health and nutrition entitlements throughout the life cycle and across various locations, particularly among marginalised communities, is important to address issues of maternal, newborn, child mortality and morbidity and improve adolescents and young people’s access to health care.  Empowering and educating communities is a key strategy towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is a need to ensure alignment and communication with a stronger focus on equity and rights. 

In this regard, workshops were organised for sharing evidence based practices, workable models, strategies and approaches that will contribute to global wisdom towards a shared vision. The workshops provided an opportunity to dialogue and discuss the scalability and challenges related to approaches of improving health and well being of the marginalised communities. The outcome of these workshops were recommendations towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 targets themes of the workshops:

  • Empowering Adolescents for Healthy Lives 
  • Community based approaches for improving maternal and new born health
