King Salman International University to achieve the second goal of sustainable development: Good health and well-being
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages.

Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing the number of common killers associated with child and maternal deaths. Likewise, progress has been made in improving access to clean water and sanitation and reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio, and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, only half of women in developing countries receive the health care they need, and the need for family planning is increasing dramatically as the population grows. While the needs are gradually being addressed, there are more than 225 million women who have an unmet need for contraception. There is a related need to reduce maternal mortality to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.

Goal 3 aims to achieve universal health coverage to include access to essential medicines and vaccines. By 2030, Goal 3 proposes to end preventable deaths of newborns and children under five, and to end epidemics such as AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and waterborne diseases, for example.

Concern for health and well-being also includes objectives relating to the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, deaths and injuries resulting from road traffic accidents, hazardous chemicals, and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.

 

Scientific research:

The university’s scientific production in this objective, according to the Scival databases for the period from 2021-2024, represents 132 research papers with an impact of1.55and 1240 reference citations. The university also encourages researchers to publish internationally to achieve the goal of good health and well-being and to find solutions that help achieve sustainability.
