A ROAD MAP TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE GOALS IN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: A PERSPECTIVE OF A PHARMACIST

Abstract

 Total 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030 are developed and adopted by UNs through several decades of work by member nations and the Department of economic and social Affairs of UN.  The progress reports of the same have been reviewed from time to time by the UN system (i.e., SDG progress reports of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023). Pharmacists can be a part of the major initiative to improve overall public health and can contribute at a large extent to reach the SGD-3 targets of good health and well-being. Through this SDG pharmacists can play an active part in improving and ensuring health and well-being of all age people through patient care, patient education and active participation in the health policy development of the country. This article reviews how pharmacists can play a crucial role in meeting SDG of health and well-being.
