Higher Education and SDG3. Good Health and Well-Being - Wendy Purcell

Global health challenges are on the rise with health inequities growing. Higher Education and SDG3 explores how universities and colleges are advancing good health and well-being– from workforce development to innovative research, curriculum change and community efforts– higher education matters to delivering SDG3.

Curated global cases studies illustrate how higher education incorporates SDG3 into its education, research, and partnerships, chronicling good practice and what more needs to be done. From a global research university creating a new business school focused solely on health, to harnessing artificial intelligence to advance data-driven healthcare, supporting the road to universal healthcare, building programme content for the health professions, and a pan-institutional fellows programme addressing environmental justice, the book offers solutions. Detailed accounts enable others to tailor the examples to their local context and scale delivery to meet SDG3 targets.

Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goals is a series of 17 books that address each of the SDGs through the lens of higher education. Adopting a solutions-based approach, each book focuses on how higher education is advancing delivery of Agenda 2030. The series is edited by Wendy Purcell, Professor with Rutgers University and Academic Research Scholar with Harvard University; Emeritus Professor and University President Emerita.
