Good health is central to human happiness and well-being. Health is also instrumental to poverty reduction because healthy populations live longer and are more productive. The law is a powerful tool for implementing SDG 3 and advancing global health. Laws are essential to design or improve a health coverage scheme that is truly universal. Yet, the role of the law and lawyers in advancing good health and well-being is still underestimated or poorly understood. This Legal Guide to SDG 3 will assist legal professionals in understanding their role and key actions they can take to advance SDG 3.
