1. Global problems:

1. There are now more cases related to diseases like malaria and HIV. Solution: Improve healthcare and inform everyone on how to prevent these diseases. In addition, there should be more vaccinations for kids

2. Some people can't afford health care and some people go into extreme poverty because of it. Solution: Make insurance cheaper for poor people.

2. Students' mental health and well-being are decreasing, which makes them feel depressed, stressed, and bored.

3. Our school solution: Start a well-being week where we do different kinds of activities to spread kindness to everyone for example:

1. Making rules like everyone should be kind and help each other

2. Make an alphabet with words related to things that make us happy

3. Host a fair event so everyone can sing, dance, and play with each other

4. And so much more!

4. In addition, we also have workshops and events where we share how to keep yourself happy.

1: Definition:

SDG no 3 (Good health and well-being) is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. The official wording is: "To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people of all ages."

2: Opinions & Personal Sharings

From my perspective, a student's mental and physical health is often related to their environment- the school. Some of the school gravity problems may have been known like bullies, social challenges, peer pressures, stereotypes.....etc may greatly impact the students' mental and physical health, and they can also decrease the student's happiness rate. To tackle the issues and to support the students, our school set up an annual event called "The Well-being Week" for the students and teachers. During this week, we had lessons about happiness, we wore pink clothes, and we participated in fantastic activities during the week. Moreover, our school provides a weekly survey about the student's happiness level every week, asking why they are not happy and making contact with them if the issue is too serious.

3: Overall solutions

However, school should be a place that provides knowledge and happiness to the students. I just think that if a student is happy, they are willing to do and learn new things actively! In my opinion, a solution to ensure the student's well-being level is a short game about the importance of a students well-being level in the noon-breaktime! The game can have various rules and playing ways. The student council can set up a game in the schoolyard! Im sure that its going to be an attraction to most students.

1. Issues:

"Doctors can cure diseases but can't cure poor people". With the growth of technology, the price of health care is expensive which impoverished people can't afford

=> Take care of yourself better, eat healthy food, and exercise.

False information about diseases and medicines. Fake websites scam money and private information when someone tries to buy or find medicine

=> Make sure the website is legit and double-check the information. Do not give personal information to suspicious websites

2. Focus on your school's or your country's issues.

Expensive therapy, medicine

Little dispensaries in ethnic minority areas

3. School activities.

1. Global Issues:

- Shortage of Healthcare Professionals

According to a recent Robert Half report, 89% of healthcare managers are struggling to hire new employees. The healthcare business is dealing with a serious lack of workers, which affects both healthcare delivery and patient care.

- Solution: Improving working conditions and benefits: To maintain existing professionals while attracting newcomers,

- Rising Costs of Healthcare Services

The rising cost of healthcare services will remain one of the most serious concerns in the healthcare industry in 2023. This problem is not limited to one region or country; it is a worldwide matter that must be addressed immediately.

-       Solution: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has significantly reduced outpatient care costs by about 3% after examining healthcare cost data over four years in nine communities.

2.

The national health insurance system has not kept up with the needs of society.

Lack of drugs and medical equipment.

1. Global issues : SDG#3

Purpose : SDG 3 aims to prevent needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death by focusing on key targets that boost the health of a country's overall population.

Good health & well-being? Well-being is a feeling of satisfaction with life, a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity. Good health concerns the care of the human body & everything that can be done to protect it from sickness, intoxication and enable access to care.

Some major insight and solutions
+ Not all citizens are approaching medical health check(especially poor class) due to expensive fees and lack of welfare state.
=> Implement government-funded healthcare programs and subsidies to make medical health checks affordable for all citizens, particularly the poor.

Currently, Statistics have shown the increase in Infectious diseases(Malaria, Covid-19,HIV,...) without treatment regiment

=>Enhance public health measures, including vaccination campaigns, disease surveillance, and education, to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases like Malaria, Covid-19, and HIV.

2. VietNam issues

Human emotional damage met at a young age(studying depression,...)

=> Implement comprehensive mental health education and support programs in schools and communities to address and prevent emotional damage among young people in Vietnam.

Teenagers and children under 16 are more likely to get pregnant which negatively affects their physical, mental health and future development

=>Implement age-appropriate sex education in schools, Increase access to contraception for teenagers. Provide counseling and support services for young parents. Address underlying social and economic factors contributing to teenage pregnancy. Promote empowerment and decision-making skills among youth.

2. School's solutions: Vinschool highlights the importance of students' well-being by making activities to improve and motivate healthy, positive teenagers.

Create quizzes concerning our feelings while studying and automatically rate them.

Applying strict behavior rules therefore making a kind study environment and preventing bullying, harassment,...

Made a well-being week for everyone to enjoy(performances, booths, notes and stickers with heartfelt messages)

SDG #3 focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, encompass a range of challenges and concerns:

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems: Due to the pandemic's severe disruption of vital health services, vaccination rates have dropped, and tuberculosis and malaria deaths have increased

=> Make sure that everyone has access to the anti-COVID-19 medications, vaccines, and supplies.

Communicable diseases: HIV/AIDS, Influenza (flu), Measles, Meningitis => Improving access to testing and treatment, stepping up preventative measures or fortifying monitoring and response infrastructure.

The shortage of healthcare workers: Despite an increase in the global health workforce, regions with the highest burden of disease have the lowest proportion of health workers => Medical professionals should be trained and kept on staff

1. Global issues: One of the world's biggest concern is pandemic. According to an article published in the "Bulletin of the World Health Organization", pandemics are defined as global disease outbreaks. Examples of pandemics include certain influenza outbreaks, COVID-19, and other viral threats that reflect our vulnerability to widespread diseases—many of which originate in animals. To prevent infection, farmers should get their animals vaccinated, wear safety equipments while working and contacting with them (Mask, gloves,...)

2. Vietnamese health issues:

Diabetes

Malnutrition

Infectious diseases

Noncommunicable diseases

High-priced medicine and medical services

3. School activity: Every school year, Vinschool organises some eventsrelated to well-being such as Well-being week, Anti-bullying week,... During those events, students are encouraged to create posters/products that propagate Well-being. Not just students but teachers and school staffs are also involved

# data[].attributes.body
1. The goal of SDG #3 is to enhance worldwide health and well-being by tackling important issues.

1. Enhanced Healthcare Access: Enhance facilities, training, and medicine.

2. Combatting health disparities through poverty reduction, education, and universal healthcare.

3. Not all citizens can afford the proper medical attention (lower class) due to extra fees => the government needs to think through before funding healthcare programs to make medical health checks affordable for all.

4. Improving mental health through integrated services, awareness-raising, and funding research. To address these challenges, collaboration is necessary to enhance healthcare, tackle social determinants, and promote fairness.

2. School medical problems:

-Students these days suffer from mental issues because of workload and the burden of getting a high score, feeling stressed, depressed, and bored.

3. School activities

-Well-being week: treat others well and ourselves. Show a positive attitude to everyone

-There's a program (SWB) that the school makes to check our well-being, and if there are issues it will immediately contact the teachers to help you

# data[].attributes.body
1. Global issues:

A. Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being

SDG 3 is a bold goal that aims to minimize or eradicate certain health-related issues, such as:

Maternal mortality as well as avoidable infant and early childhood deaths.

Mortality from non-communicable diseases, drug addiction, and mental illness, as well as from communicable diseases including AIDS, TB, and malaria.

Ensuring that everyone has access to health care, including reproductive health services.

The effects of pollution, climate change, and dangerous chemicals on human health

B. What can I do to create healthy futures?

To help stop the transmission of COVID-19, wear a face mask, engage in social distance, and wash your hands frequently.

Make sure my kids' and my immunizations are current. Plan to have the flu shot this year to prevent hospitals from being inundated by patients during the pandemic.

We are grateful to the medical experts and vital workers who risk their own health and the health of their loved ones on a daily basis to keep services available to all of us during the pandemic.

Urge my business to place a higher priority on partnerships and investments in health, as well as the mental health of its stakeholders and workers.

Raise your voice against the social and economic injustices that result in unequal access to healthcare.

2. Vietnam's issues:

SDG 3 is straightforward but will need a lot of work to accomplish: "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages." The high rates of tuberculosis, traffic fatalities, and the proportion of surviving infants who received both of the immunizations recommended by the World Health Organization are only a few of the sub-scores — specific facts that have contributed to Vietnam reaching the depleted state of wellness and well-being target.

Creating healthcare equity and accessibility, as well as managing infectious diseases like the previously stated tuberculosis score, are some of the biggest issues that have been recognized. Because certain new regulations that have enhanced the management of communicable illnesses in one sector are not established in others, these challenges are closely related to one another.

3. School program:

Every year, we have a general health check at school once at the beginning of the school year because the school wants to ensure students' health

The school built a website for us to conduct a well-being survey once a week. If necessary, students will receive psychological counseling by school psychologists.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Global issues

Ensuring the health and well-being of people worldwide is the aim of SDG #3 (Good health and well-being)

Infectious illnesses like COVID 19, AIDS, HIV, and malaria

=> Make sure you read up on infectious disease prevention, get vaccinated, and visit hospitals right away if you suspect a disease

=> A number of related tales include "Women affected by HIV help each other live healthy and well lives; Community initiatives to prevent HIV and youth violence; ...."

A weak and constrained medical care system results in a lack of clinics, staff, treatment tools, knowledge, and treatment experience

=> Providing more comprehensive medical equipment, expanding infrastructure, developing medical management capabilities, and training medical staff for various roles

2. Viet Nam issues

Pollution of the air, water, soil, and noise => Leads to respiratory issues, infectious diseases, and other health issues in humans
=> Expand awareness of environmental concerns, disinformation,...

Although there are still issues in certain areas, like rural areas, the quality of medical services needs to improve. Significant difference in services between rural and urban areas

=> Inform rural communities and suggest best practices for minimizing regional differences and supporting them.

1. Global Issues related to SDG #3

Poor people cannot afford health care because of the growth, the rising cost of technology.

Solution : Reduce the price of health care services for poor people

Not every disease has their special medicine to cure(fatal disease). For example, HIV/AIDS and Cancer. Furthermore, there are now more and more cases related to fatal disease.

Solution : Take care of your health to prevent these diseases (have a balance diet, sleep enough, do exercise)

2. Our country (Vietnamese) health problems :

Malnutrition

Diabetes

Cancer

False information about diseases and fake medicine which lead to a worse health system.

Mental health problem such as depression, stress (especially the youth and teenagers)

3. School activities

Every week, Vinschool provides a survey about mental health to get to know more about how students are feeling, facing.

Every schoolyear, our school organizes some events about well-being. For example, Anti-bullying day (students will wear pink clothes to school that day), Well-being week (student and school staffs are encouraged to create a product or poster that propagate about Well-being topics.)

1. Global issues:

Millions of people around the world still lack access to basic healthcare services.

Mental health problems are becoming increasingly common around the world. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions can have a debilitating impact on people's lives.

=> Those issues are one of the biggest challenges to achieving SDG 3.

2. School's & country's problems:

Dengue fever and other infectious diseases can spread quickly in crowded school environments, especially without proper hygiene measures.

Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death and injury for children and adolescents in Vietnam

Expensive medicine

1. Global issues

"Human are forced to poverty because of health care"

- World Health Organization (WHO) stated that according to their report, each year, large numbers of households are being pushed into poverty because they must pay for health care out of their own pockets. 800 million people spend at least 10 percent of their household budgets on health expenses for themselves, a sick child or other family member

*Opinion solutions: Discussion towards lowering medical expenses. Different expenses range for people with lower income.

"Child mortality"

- According to the data collected by UNICEF, in 2022, 4.9 million children under 5 years of age died. This translates to 13,400 children under the age of 5 dying every day in 2022. Globally, infectious diseases, remain a leading cause of under-five deaths, along with preterm birth and intrapartum-related complications.

*Opinion solutions: Consideration before having a baby (make sure that you - the parents are able to provide multiple needs for their child - finance, health care,...). Restrictions of going outside too much (or to toxic environment) before the child turns 5.

2. Our country's problem related to providing mental health care.

A large community (of old generations) still despises the effects of lack of mental health.

Teenagers making their mental health as an excuse towards skipping class/missing out on class activities/not doing anything with their life.

3. School activities that focus on SDG no.3:

1. Global issues:

In the world, there are still many things happened that strongly effects people's health and well being. The continuous appearances of natural phenomena and disasters like forest fired, tornado, or lately covid 19 have greatly changed the way some people lived and caused various difficulties.

Solution: We need to join hands to protect the environment to avoid natural disasters, storms and floods that threaten human life.

Bullying often occurs in schools. This can negatively affect children's mental health. They will find themselves shunned and isolated from society, so this is extremely dangerous

Solution: Schools and parents need to teach their children and students that school bullying is something that should not happen and how to prevent it.

2. Our country issues:

In our country, health-related problems also appear quite a lot. Vietnam is often known as a country with a lot of vehicles moving on the road. Therefore, the risk of traffic accidents is extremely high. In addition, alcohol is also a popular drink here, it can easily affect health and cause unpredictable consequences.

In Vinschool, bullying cases are quite few, but there are still a few cases. Jokes may seem meaningless, but if done for a long time and make your friend uncomfortable, it can turn into a case of bullying. Here, we learned a lot about bullying and how to prevent it from happening.

3. School activities:

Our schools provide many activities to help students understand more about the potential consequences of bullying and others. They have organised events called "Anti - bullying" or "well being week".

SDG 13.

Rising global temperatures: This leads to more extreme weather events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves.

Sea level rise: Threatens coastal communities and ecosystems.

Ocean acidification: Harms marine life and disrupts food chains.

Loss of biodiversity: Climate change is accelerating the extinction of plant and animal species.

2. Solutions

Transition to renewable energy: Move away from fossil fuels like coal and oil, and invest in solar, wind, geothermal, and other clean energy sources.

Improve energy efficiency: Reduce overall energy consumption through building retrofits, smarter appliances, and sustainable transportation options.

Protect forests: Forests absorb carbon dioxide, so preventing deforestation and promoting reforestation are crucial.

Climate-smart agriculture: Develop agricultural practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are more resilient to climate change impacts.

3. School Activity

-Mosquito-borne diseases: Over one million people worldwide die from mosquito-borne diseases every year.

+Solutions: Mosquito repellents, mosquito nets

-STIs have a direct impact on sexual and reproductive health through stigmatization, infertility, cancers and pregnancy complications and can increase the risk of HIV.

+Solutions: Learn and use proper physical protections, and do tests at least once in one's lifetime.

2. In Vietnam:

-Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes strokes and ischemic heart disease, is responsible for 31% of deaths in Vietnam. These issues could be avoided by eating healthy and participating in physical activities.

-Health care service access inequalities: In 2016, among the 10 million poor people in Vietnam, most of whom are ethnic minorities living in remote areas, most have limited access to basic public services, and if they do, those are of low quality.

1. Global Problems

Some parts of the world don't have the same healthcare as other countries. We can fix this by building hospitals in other countries so less fortunate people can be healed or cured of ailments they might not have been able to be cured of without hospitals nearby.

There is a lot of misinformation about medicine and healthcare. For example, there are plenty of erroneous claims that vaccines cause autism. That is totally bogus, but with the Internet being accessible by everyone, some people genuinely believe that. We can fix this issue by putting harsher financial penalties on dangerous misinformation like this.

2. Problems in the US

Healthcare is very expensive in the US. Without insurance, you can have to pay upwards of thousands of US dollars to retrieve treatment. Even with insurance, you have to pay a lot for it, and insurance might not cover everything. There isn't a single solution to fix this, since doctors sometimes also help people for the money. Lowering deductibles or premiums on health insurance can help alleviate this problem.

Certain politicians appear to want to abolish Medicare/Obamacare (which is free healthcare for those who qualify). I don't understand why these guys want to take out healthcare. It increases the mental and physical health of Americans; that should be well worth the cost. Americans can just refuse to vote these people into office, but because some people don't even think about who they're voting for (this goes for both sides of the political spectrum), this is near impossible.

3. School activities

Recently Chantilly High School had a "Stress Less" week. This week had activities for students to do outside of class in a hope for them to stress less. It's a nice concept, but I don't think it does anything that important. One single week of "stress less" isn't enough; one week might even make things worse because students feel like they "have to" participate in the activities. Instead, stress-free activities should occur during the study hall periods, even for those who are failing, so you can just relax, unwind, and do whatever.

Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are becoming more common throughout the world.

Solution: Spread awareness about these issues and how people can get help, and work to destigmatize being mentally ill and going to therapy.

Many people around the world lack healthcare or are at risk of going bankrupt should they seek it.

Solution: Lower the cost of healthcare globally and provide more resources for people to pursue carriers in medicine.

1. Global issues

The most obvious global health concerns deal with communicable and contagious diseases but global health factors include economic and political instability, income and social inequality, lack of education and employment, insufficient food and medicine and climate change and natural disasters. Other global health issues include:

--global health protection

--Immunization

--HIV and TB

--Malaria and Parasitic diseases

--Other diseases and threats

--food and water

Solutions:

We needed to have more open minded people especially in terms of job offers and employment. Because there is a lack of jobs globally, people get payed off more frequently or don't have enough food and water to provide for themselves and their families. In some countries water and food are frequently contaminated or have bugs and other things that can be harmful to the human body. We need to have a global food drive or something similar in order to provide food and water to the less fortunate families and individuals globally and in our country.

2. Country issues

According to the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), it is estimated that 6 out of 10 Americans suffer from chronic disease and 4 of those 10 suffer from two or more. these diseases include type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, stroke, heart disease, cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic ling disease.

The opioid epidemic has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in recent years. Both prescription drugs and illegal street drugs have contributed to these looses. Organizations like the CDC and countless advocacy groups are fighting to reverse these outcomes through public programs, awareness, campaigns,research, and surveillance and support to ensure that providers who prescribe these medications follow appropriate safety guidelines.

Nearly 20,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of homicide in 2017, and those numbers are unfortunately not in a rapid decline. Crime prevention, access to weapons, identifying ral threats and addressing mental health issues can all help reduce these grim statistics of injury and death. In addition to building awareness surrounding safer lifestyle choices.

School activities:

Last week we had a wellness week for all students at our school. There were spirit days such as wear green or dress like teachers as well as a wellness fair that a bunch of activities for students to do like hanging out with friends, embroidery, arts and crafts, as well as study hall. I feel like the wellness fair actually helps students because it gives them a break from school work and just enjoy the hour that they have to hang out with friends and do whatever activities they want. we also have study hall for students to finish up work that is past due or to make up tests and quizzes that they missed.

SDG #3, which focuses on good health and well-being, is crucial for the overall development of a country.

1. Global issues & Solutions:

Many people don't have access to basic healthcare, especially in underdeveloped areas. To fix this, governments must invest in healthcare and ensure everyone can get the care they need.

People are getting more diseases like diabetes, and heart disease because they're eating unhealthy food and not getting enough exercise. To help, we must teach people the importance of staying healthy. That means getting enough exercise, eating right, and not smoking or drinking too much.

2. Vietnam issues & Solutions:

Air pollution is a big issue in Vietnam, especially in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The air is polluted due to the increase in traffic and industrial activities, which can cause serious health problems like asthma, allergies, and even cancer. The government is taking steps to address this issue by fining industries that break environmental regulations, promoting public transportation, and encouraging the use of clean energy. In addition, people can also contribute to improving air quality by using eco-friendly products, planting trees, and reducing their carbon footprint.

3. School activities:

To monitor the students' physical and mental health, our school conducts annual health checks and surveys to understand the student's emotional well-being.

1. Global issues

The aim of SDG#3 is to ensure that all ages can access enhanced healthcare and to promote well-being for all. One of the issues that we are facing is substance abuse. Substance abuse, also referred to as drug abuse, is the use of a drug in quantities or ways that are hazardous to the user or other people. Some people are addicted to the flavour, some thinks that abusing the drugs will cure them faster and more effectively.

Solutions:

- Explore more options of treatment

- Learn heathy ways to cope with addiction

2. Country's issues

People in Vietnam, especially elders, believes that antibiotics can cure almost everything. As a result, every minor health problems are dealt with using antibiotics. This has been a serious issue in Vietnam for a long time since a large amount of antibiotics are not safe and can lead to overdose.

Solutions:

- Educate people on the potential risks of abusing antibiotics (substances in general)

3. School activities

Well-being week: This week is about how to be kind and treat others better. Overall, it is a positive activity and pratical as well.

Workshops: There are various workshops held by students and school clubs to educate others on how to deal with mental health problems.

- Stricter detention for violations

- Ensure road safety by engineering safer road

- Apply a system for road-crossing

- …

2. Country Issues

One of the most significant causes of road injuries in Vietnam is over-speeding, which accounts for 5,52% of traffic accidents.

Adressing the issues: Some people form groups, gangs and overspeeding on the road, equipping themselves with weapons like spears, knives, cleavers,… calling themselves “girl phố”, “boy phố”, “dân tổ”,… as a way of showing off and asserting their power (but eventually ended up in the police office). This is heavily condemned by the residents nearby.

Or in some cases, when people are in a hurry and wanting to get to their destination as soon as possible, they will ignore the law and overspeed.

Solutions:

-cold detention (CCTV will record the violation and announce about the penalty afterwards using the license number to track the violator)

- right-away detention

- build speed bumps

- …..

3. School Activities:

School Assembly: Teachers and proffesionals hosted an assembly to educate students on road travelling and promote safe traffic.

School’s regulation: Our school had established a set of regulation about safety requirements when travelling on road for students, including wearing helmets, vehicle’s cubic centimetres limit,…

1. Global issues:

Infectious diseases: Ratios of diseases transmission like Ebola, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19,.. continue to rise, threatening global health security and well-being.

=>Solution: Healthcare training, developing more vaccines and treatments, investing in global heath system.

Lack of mental heath services: Mental health services are limited in many parts of the world, causing undertreatment and mental health issues to rise.

=>Solution: intergration into primary healthcare, increase funding and resources, global collaboration to research about mental health.

Environmental health and pollution: The growth of air/water/land pollution is causing numerous of detrimental effects on the environment, creating a major challenge to the world.

=>Solution: transition to renewable energy sources, waste reduction, investment in clean technologies, promotion of protecting the nature.

2. Vietnam's issues

Non communicable diseases has became popular for several decades in Vietnam, such as diabetes or cancer.

Child mortality remain areas of concern, particularly in rural and remote areas.

Pollutions: Air and water pollution, exposure to toxic substances, causing the living environment's quality to decrease.

General solutions: To effectively deal with medical problems in Vietnam and improve overall healthcare outcomes, we should improve healthcare infrastructure, promote health financing and insurance and develop diseases prevention.

3. Our school activites

At Vinschool, one of the challenge that we are facing the most is mental health problem. To reduce that problem, our school has created some projects and campaigns:

Well-being week

Anti-bullying day

Clubs for mental health problem

# data[].attributes.body
1. Global issue:

Nowadays, due to the development of cars and transportation, more and more traffic accidents are occurring daily in the world. According to WHO (World Health Organization), on the 13th of December 2023, approximately 1.19 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Hence, reducing traffic collisions is needed in order to improve the safety of the world.

Solution:

Raising awareness of people about complying with the traffic rules when commuting.

Strict any circumstances of a guilty commuter who causes a traffic injury because of not following the rules

2. School related:

As an education institute, Vinschool the Harmony plays a crucial role in teaching and leading children to be responsible citizens of the world by regularly giving presentations about safety and risks when participating in traffic and how to deal with sudden situations on the road

3. Activities in school:

Weekly well-being survey

Attending laws class

# data[].attributes.body
Global issue:

Now air pollution is becoming more and more serious because of emissions from factories as well as vehicles. According to WHO (World Health Organization), air pollution claims more than 7 million lives each year and up to 92% of the world's population is exposed to this air pollution. This will seriously affect the world's ecosystem and is the main culprit causing global warming

Solution:

Limit cars or motorbikes and replace them with bicycles or walking. This help less carbon dioxide discharged into the environment

Plant lots of trees and minimize cutting down trees for wood. Because trees help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, they are considered the "Lungs of the Earth".

# data[].attributes.body
1. Global issues:

Access to healthcare: Many people around the world still lack access to basic healthcare services, particularly in low-income and rural areas. This is due to the fact that the cost of healthcare can be prohibitive for many people, especially in regions where there is no universal healthcare coverage.

--> Solutions: Some solutions include enhancing infrastructure and services in underserved regions; guaranteeing widespread healthcare access; etc.

Mental health: Stigma and discrimination against people with mental health conditions often prevent them from seeking help and accessing treatment.

--> Solutions: Some ways that can help with this issue are raising awareness and reducing stigma surrounding mental illness; investing more resources into mental health services.

2. In Vietnam:

Maternal and child health: While Vietnam has made significant progress in reducing maternal and child mortality rates, disparities still exist, particularly in remote and ethnic minority areas.

--> Solutions: Improve access to maternal and child healthcare services.

Aging population: Vietnam is experiencing demographic shifts, with an increasing elderly population.

--> Solutions: Ensure access to healthcare services for older adults, address age-related health issues.

3. School activities:

Wellbeing survey every week

Wellbeing week

Presentations to spread awareness about wellbeing

Sustainable Development Goal #3:

The third target of the 17 global missions, as declared by the United Nations, aims to focus on good health and well-being. This goal encompasses many priorities, such as quality healthcare, equal access to medical attention as well as medicine, and the gradual elimination of various dangerous ailments.

I. A global issue: the prescription issue.

As of now, humanity has gone a long way in the vast field of medicine and therapeutics. There have been so many chemicals either synthesized or extracted from nature for medical purposes, as they can help to treat or alleviate an enormous amount of conditions. In truth, medications can be lifesavers if they are used responsibly and correctly. Of course, a lot of drugs do come with their side effects, hence why plenty of them are only available with a prescription, meaning they’re only available via a valid indicated prescription from a medical professional. Current issues surrounding prescription medicine include drug shortages, substance abuse by both patients and non-patients, faulty prescribing (e.g. overprescribing), addiction, counterfeit pills, clandestine production and trafficking of drugs that are normally prescription drugs, as well as the health risks that exist when antidote medicines are scarce or when patients that are dependent on certain prescription drugs are denied their medications. What we can do is stop the stigma towards pills, push the production of essential medications, use prescription drugs responsibly, and evaluate if the dosage is appropriate by asking a trusted medical professional.

II. The Vietnamese pill problem: Unfortunately, not everyone gets medications for this purpose. Some people are still trying to obtain such drugs without a prescription. One prime example of this issue is the fact that some pharmacists are now handing out prescription medications to people who do not get prescribed them. This is a real thing that is happening in Vietnam. Such pharmacies have a trick up their sleeves: they immediately stop their activities when the authorities try to investigate and resume their drug distribution to people without a prescription afterward. What's even more alarming is that even if pharmacists deny a customer's request for prescription pills without a valid prescription, the customer will just purchase them from another pharmacy, and the problem ensues. The authorities should pay more mind to this problem: over-the-counter pills should be clearly distinguished from prescription-only pills. Letting people purchase prescription-only pills without a prescription could pose a serious risk, as there may be side effects or bad reactions to the pills that will not be accounted for without a doctor's advice.

III. School activities:

As noted by many students, our school has planned events such as the well-being week or the day against bullying. Furthermore, we also have health check-ups and a mental health program that is available on our learning site. I would also like to mention that our teachers have taught us about substance abuse and how it is an issue that needs to be tackled in class.

1. Defenition

SDG 3 is "Good health and well-being", aims to prevent needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death by focusing on key targets that boost the health of a country's overall population.

2. Global issues and solutions

While progress has been made, infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases still claim many lives => Strengthening immunization programs: Ensuring high vaccination rates protects individuals and communities from preventable diseases.

Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and addiction are widespread but often neglected. Stigma and lack of access to quality mental healthcare services are major barriers => Integrating mental health into primary care: This allows for early identification and intervention for mental health issues.

3. Vietnam issues and solution

Air pollution greatly affects people's health, especially in big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City when the traffic density here is very dense. It causes serious health problems such as pneumonia, asthma, cardiovascular disease and even lung cancer. Besides, children and adolescents are the most vulnerable group to air pollution. . Their bodies, including their organs and immune systems, are still developing, so they are more susceptible to poor air quality. => one of the solution is finding and applying effective technological solutions to treat emissions is an urgent need. From advanced air filters, smart air absorbers to pioneering industrial exhaust treatment technologies, all can help limit the amount of pollutants emitted from harmful sources such as factories, vehicles and manufacturing activities.

4. School activities relate to good health and well-being

general health check at school once a year => ensure students health.

create a well-being website/well-being week => check student's mental health, make them feel better

some event: anti-bullying,...

1. Global issues:

- There is an exciting uptick in climate action, yet we have failed to prioritize the Ice Crisis. On our watch, we have lost 28 trillion tonnes of Polar Ice in less than 30 years. This unprecedented melting of our planetary climate regulator is activating much of the global climate instability we are now experiencing. We need to do all we can to avoid the collapse of this apex climate system by accelerating emissions cuts along with doing all we can to protect the ice that is left.

- The Arctic has already warmed by 2°C (3.6°F) – 4°C (7.2°F). The geopolitics of the Arctic is also heating up, with increasing interest in exploiting soon to be exposed resources, potentially including deep sea mining and oil and gas exploration.

There are plans afoot for a Transpolar shipping route across the North Pole, punching through the older, thicker

ice – all this just to save 2 days travel. Together with the predicted 10x increase in shipping, this will significantly increase the risk of oil spills and heavy fuel oil contamination in this last pristine biosphere.

2. Solution

- We can yet make a significant difference in reducing global fossil fuel use to stabilize and save the future of humanity by executing a comprehensive reduction and survival plan like the Job One for Humanity global warming action plan.

- We can persevere through this time of emergency. We just need to remember that our greatest challenges are also the seeds of our greatest opportunities.

1. Global Issue related to SDG

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It addresses a wide range of health-related issues, including universal health coverage, reducing deaths from road traffic accidents and substance abuse, and controlling tobacco use. These issues are widespread and affect countries at all stages of development. These days, diseases like AIDS or HIV are much more common than in the past, which is like a warning about the urgency of this SDG.

To address the global challenges related to SDG number 3, here are some of my opinion-based solutions:

1. Enhance Healthcare Systems: It is imperative to build strong healthcare systems that can cater to the needs of all individuals. This entails investing in the development of hospitals, clinics, and ensuring an adequate number of well-trained healthcare professionals.

2. Advocate for Universal Health Coverage: It is vital to establish policies that guarantee access to healthcare services for everyone, regardless of their financial status. This includes providing coverage for a comprehensive range of health services, spanning from preventive measures to rehabilitative care.

2. Vietnam's Issue

Now in Vietnam, students are introduced with inappropriate substances like vape/tobacco/cigarettes through social media. By using those substances it can affect their mental health, physical health and bring unwanted health conditions.

3. My activities

I participated in the wellbeing week, an event hosted at my school that aims at stimulate the well-being act of students. I drew posters and such to send my message about well-being to other students

Overall Problem

Over a third of Americans are Obese

Root of the problem

Among all adults aged 18 and over, 24.2% met the guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities 22.7% met only the guidelines for aerobic activity, 6.8% met only the guidelines for muscle-strengthening activity, and 46.3% did not meet the guidelines for either type of activity

My Proposed Solutions

Making the gym less intimidating, I go to the gym everyday and often hear people talking about how “intimidating” the gym can be for people who are new. Gyms should invest into hiring more personal trainers to help new gym goers with their fitness journey.

Non-Profits taking action, Non profits should open free cardio classes (spin class, HITT, etc.) to the obese community specifically to encourage them to exercise more.

More 24 hour gyms, often times the gym just becomes another chore to people, and it’s a pretty long one. Most people spend at least an hour in the gym and balancing that with work and whatever other activities in the average citizens daily life can be challenging. When a gym is open 24 hours it gives people the option to go whenever they are available.

1. Global Problem:

There are now a variety of health complications citizens experience as a result of human-induced and preventable pollution. I think an effective way of solving this problem is contacting government officials to try and find safer options for citizens in unclean circumstances.

2. My Country's Issues:

In America, many people experience health problems as a result of pollution. For example, in Flint, Michigan, where citizens are unable to get access to clean water because officials switched their water source to a cheaper, dirtier alternative. This has led to lead poisoning, impaired cognition, behavioral problems, etc. This isn't a unique experience, cities across the nation are susceptible to unclean ways of life.

3. School Activities:

There have been multiple efforts to address and possibly solve the issue. For example, the Social Justice Club I'm in spent a meeting addressing environmental racism, specifically going into detail about citizens in San Diego, California suffering from air pollution. For an ESOL class I assisted at, I also created a model slideshow on Flint, Michigan, and ways to improve the situation.

Global Issues in the US:

1. School and Homework

School and Homework - Not every student is able to afford to attend school or have free education.

Sometimes, students are also overwhelmed by the amount of homework they have to do at home and have a higher chance to develop stress.

2. Diet and Eating Habits

America has 69% of people suffering from obesity.

Implementing lessons to educate the young and old about healthy eating habits would reduce the percentage alone and maintaining a healthy diet.

3. College and Career Planning

Students may fall into debt if they do not have enough money to pay loans off.

It may be hard to find the right career if there's so many options or the major is not present in the college that the student needs to move far away from home.
