Good Health & Well-Being
Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) requires the collective effort of various stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
SDG 3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. The chronic and catastrophic disease remains one of the main factors that push households from poverty into deprivation.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) impose a large burden on human health worldwide.
Currently, 63% of all deaths worldwide stem from NCDs – chiefly cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
ROE contributes to achieving SDG 3 in communities:
- Health awareness and education: We organize health campaigns, workshops, and training sessions to raise awareness about key health issues.
- Advocacy and policy influence: We advocate for policies that prioritize health and well-being at the local, national, and international levels.
- Data collection and monitoring: we play a crucial role in collecting health-related data and monitoring progress towards SDG 3. By identifying key health indicators, tracking health outcomes, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions, we contribute to evidence-based decision-making and adaptive programming.
Some of our recent programs and activities included free medical outreach programs, at least once annually where we invite people for free medical consultation, free eye care, free glasses, free surgeries, free drugs, free blood pressure checks, free blood glucose checks, and lots of others.
Over 1,500 people have benefited from this program and many more are looking forward to benefits, but this costs money.
