Study Notes
Ecosystems
- Ecosystems consist of plants, animals, micro-organisms, air, water, soil, and rocks.
- All components of an ecosystem are interdependent and mutually reliant.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDGs are interconnected, indivisible, and complement one another.
- Achieving the SDGs requires collaboration across all sectors and levels (international, national, regional, and local).
- SDG 3 focuses on good health and well-being, which supports the success of other SDGs and is influenced by them.
Key Interrelated SDGs
- SDG 1: No Poverty
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger
- SDG 4: Quality Education
- SDG 5: Gender Equality
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Maternal and Child Health (Part of SDG 3)
- Maternal mortality refers to deaths from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, particularly common in low- and middle-income countries.
- Key causes of maternal mortality include hemorrhage, sepsis, and obstructed labor.
HIV/AIDS
- HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) leads to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and weakens the immune system.
- Transmission occurs through bodily fluids, primarily during unprotected sex, sharing needles, and from mother to child.
- Antiretroviral therapy (ART) involves multiple drugs to manage HIV and delay progression to AIDS; it does not cure HIV.
Tuberculosis (TB)
- TB remains a leading global health threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, despite being curable.
- In 2019, approximately 10 million people contracted TB, with a significant proportion being men and women of childbearing age.
- The BCG vaccine has been effective in preventing TB in children, with coverage reported in 153 countries.
Neglected Tropical Diseases
- Effective strategies for combating neglected tropical diseases include drug treatment, vector control, and improvements in water and sanitation.
- Key examples include reducing the spread of schistosomiasis through better sanitation and veterinary public health measures.
Health and Wellbeing
- Addressing issues related to maternal health, HIV/AIDS, and TB is crucial for achieving SDG 3 and enhancing global health outcomes.
- Increased funding, accessibility to healthcare, and advancements in research and development are essential for tackling these health challenges.
