Background information of selected target

SDG involves different kinds of goals and targets that help in developing the world in a more sustainable manner. Based on the ideas of Nerini et al. (2019), strengthening the capacity of various countries is considered to be one of the primary objectives of the different SDGs that help in developing the health and safety of people to a large extent. Different developing countries are present that are seen to be in the risk section related to health as well as specific management it is necessary for dealing with global health risk. Different countries of Europe are seen to have a lesser information about health-related risk as well as sustainable development goals that help in bringing about changes in the overall health and wellbeing of individuals. However, there are some countries like the UK, Germany, and Russia where different kinds of strategies and policies are considered for dealing with global health risks.

Management of different health risks also plays a crucial role in dealing with SDG and brings out some relevant strategies that are going to be beneficial for the larger population.  identified in the findings of Moyer and Hedden (2020), understanding the important risk and identifying them at the right time are mainly done by the higher authorities of government and brings about relevant strategies to mitigate the issue. This is relevantly done by the government of countries in the European region that helps in boosting up the health and well-being of the people and bringing about sustainable processes for improving lifestyle. For instance, European countries follow a “Free Health Care system” policy that helps in catering healthcare solutions to the larger population. It is seen that countries like the UK, Russia and Germany are bringing about sustainable healthcare policies that are concerned with the sustainability in health care as well as improving the overall quality of life.

Contribution of global, national and local policy in meeting the target

Global

Different kinds of global policies are considered for meeting various sustainable goals that are related to the health and well-being of the larger population.  As per the ideas of Fonseca et al. (2020), well known healthcare institutions bring about different kinds of strategies and management procedures that help in strengthening the overall health care system of various countries. WHO, brings about strategies that are going to uplift the overall health care system so that better health care facilities can be provided to the larger population with an affordable rate. Developing countries that are seen in the European region includes Ukraine, Georgia, Albania, Belarus and several others. Good health and wellbeingare considered as the primary consideration for the Government of these developing countries and health related awareness is also observed in these countries. More focus is given on the women, children and people with disabilities with “no one is left Behind” Moto (Undp.org, 2022). This particular goal has covered all countries including poor, rich and middle-income people in order to promote prosperity along with tackling the environment and climate change. This to a larger extent helps in contributing to the target that is present in goal 3 of SDG.

National

Different National health policies have also contributed to the target that is present for goal 3 of SDG in order to promote better health and well-being of the larger population.  One of the eminent healthcare policies that is being considered by the developing countries of the European region is the free health system policy that is introduced by the European Union. This tries to cover up all the developing countries so that better health and safety measures can be catered to them without any kind of discrimination (Ec.europa.eu, 2022). This has provided a broader understanding about the free healthcare facilities that are being provided to the larger population along with providing facilities to the indigenous population. This is specifically considered by the government of the European Union and other developing countries so that health facilities can be provided to people without any kind of discrimination that helps in achieving global health target. The eminent healthcare policy that is “Maternal health for all” is considered at the national level so that better maternity care facilities can be provided specifically for the developing countries that will help in reducing overall global health risk (Who.int, 2022). This is contributed to a large extent where mostly indigenous community are being considered by the authority for reducing the death rate among these people and reduce health inequality

Local

The local authorities that are present for various developing countries seen in the European region are trying to bring out several campaigns and strategies that are going to be beneficial for promoting better health and wellbeing of people. From the viewpoint of Luyckx et al. (2018), eliminating different health related risks within the local level is mainly done by the local authorities present, considering the conditions to a large extent. This is eminently done by the local authorities of the developing countries in the European region who try to consider the global health issues and its relevant risk. For instance, in the UK one of the health policies that is considered is “Financial protection for long-term care” that tries to make some relevant changes for providing subsidies to people with high treatment costs (Oecd.org, 2022). Such policies are considered at the local level so that better and enhanced care can be catered to the larger population in dealing with the global health risk. However, it is also observed that sometimes developing countries because of the lack of funding are incapable of bringing better facilities to the people and might create some issues in enhancing the health and wellbeing of the population.

Elements challenging global health

Socio-political

Socio-political scenario of the developing countries of the European region brings about a challenging situation for global health risk. As per the ideas of Leal Filho et al. (2020), reduction of health-related risk is often ignored by the people that are present in the feeling countries because of lack of proper awareness among the population and healthcare institutions. A lack of public health related equipment is something that can be effectively seen for the developing countries of the European region. In addition to this, it is also observed that a lack of people's understanding about health by the political group is also present in the developing countries of the region. In most of the cases, lesser awareness is present that has the ability to bring about problems in the reduction of health risk as well as management issues. WHO has considered this as one of the major elements that contributes to the challenges that are being faced by global health and SDGs.

Economical

Lack of funding is considered to be one of the relevant Challenges that have the ability to create issues for people in the global aspect. As per the ideas of Barbier and Burgess (2020), global health strategies require investment of capital so that all the activities related to health and wellbeing of pollution can be considered without any issue. In the case of developing countries, it is seen that most of the countries try to actively participate in global health but lack funding. For the early warning process in the health and wellbeing SDG, it is necessary to have some funding that will provide a scope for working in an emergency manner for health. The GDP of developing countries like Georgia, Ukraine is high as compared to other countries that are involved in the European region (Worldbank.org, 2022). Economic challenges bring about underlying health related problems within the larger population as well as have a drastic impact on the overall process of risk reduction and management by the higher authority. Therefore, more funding is necessary to deal with the strategies and initiatives of the WHO for SDG.

Cultural

Cultural elements, such as values, and beliefsalso contribute to the challenges that are faced by global health and its related factors. Based on the ideas of Agirreazkuenaga (2019), education level within the larger population is necessary so that better results can be obtained for any healthcare strategy. For the case of developing countries in the European region, it is seen that some areas of Belarus and Ukraine lack education within the larger population. This to a larger extent being about challenges for the healthcare experts to deal with the targets of SDG. The cultural factors that are taken as a challenge for the healthcare sector is the involvement of cultural beliefs and values that often affects the care giving process (Streimikiene et al. 2019). This largely affects the risk reduction proves in health as the people are not likely to understand the actions that are considered for better health and wellbeing of the population. More focus is given on the overall working process of the strategies that are related to healthcare and SDG in such cases.

Solutions for mitigating

Proper awareness among the population

Awareness has the ability in creating better understanding about health and wellbeing among the larger population in the European region. As per the ideas of Dar et al. (2021), bringing about different kinds of awareness programs among the larger population by the healthcare experts have the ability in making some differences within the health in the developing countries. In order to make the target of creating an early warning, risk reduction can be effectively done with the help of conducting awareness programs within the larger population. National and local authorities can organise small awareness programs in specific locations of countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia can bring about effective health irrespective of their culture. Campaigns brought forward by health care institutions can also be beneficial in bringing about better awareness among the population related to health and wellbeing and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Educating local authorities about SDG target

Other than creating awareness among the population, the local authorities are required to provide proper education related to various goals of SDG along with its different targets. From the viewpoint of Dania and Okobia (2021), educating the local authorities will bring about better awareness among the higher officials and innovative and creative strategies might be generated related to health and social care. The things that can be considered for the case of educating the local authorities that are present in the developing countries of Europe in regions. This can be done with the help of providing them hard copy and soft copies of the important guidelines that are associated with SDG targets. This is going to be beneficial as the local authorities will have proper information about the SDG target and bring about some relevant solutions to deal with the challenges faced by the authorities.

Attracting funds from World Bank

Funds are considered to be one of the essential elements that will help in bringing about relevant strategies and actions improving health among the larger population. The developing countries of European regions are needed to attract funds from the World bank so that better strategic actions can be taken for health-related activities. Risk reduction is also considered as an important element for the authorities related to health which brings about positive results on the larger population (Salvia et al. 2019). For dealing with risk reduction relevant findings are essential for bringing about a contingency plan. Proper investments in such sections will bring about changes in the strategy making process of the global, National and local. A proper data is needed collected by the local authorities so that the national authority can bring about a proper identification of the needs to the World Bank. Thus, it has the potential in attracting funds from the World Bank as relevant issues will be highlighted by both the local and national authorities.

Enhancing economic development

Economic development is essential for bringing about change in the healthcare sector specifically for the developing countries. Understanding the names of the economy and bringing forward strategies like better employment, more investments on healthcare sectors and infrastructure is going to bring about economic development in a country (Schroeder et al. 2019). The national as well as the local government needs to bring about strategies related to economic development to attract more investors, bring employment, reduce health inequalities and others. All these are going to be beneficial for the global health strategy considered by SDG target.

Effectiveness of the target in context to local health objectives

The target tries to identify the important ways through which our country can be strengthened, bring about early warning, risk reduction and effective management of health in the global and national aspect. This particular SDG target tries to deal with the health and wellbeing of the larger population specifically for the case of developing countries in the European region. Dealing with the different strategies that are considered requires the involvement of the theory of reasoned action which is also sometimes called the theory of planned behaviour. Identified in the findings of Xiao (2020), theory of reasoned action tries to understand the intention for the behaviour that is being performed by an individual. This provides a proper understanding about the different subjective norms that are often considered that controls the behaviour of an individual. For bringing about better health and safety of individuals, understanding their behaviour is necessary. Most of the higher authority tries to use this particular theory in order to understand the behaviour and helps in increasing the intention of quality livelihood among the larger population.

The effectiveness of the target can be significantly considered with the help of theory of reasoned action as it will provide a proper scope in understanding the situation of the developing country. This will provide a base in understanding the significant behaviour of the larger population and bring about some relevant strategies with respect to the risk associated with the health and wellbeing of the people. As per the ideas of Fioramonti et al. (2019), attitudes, behaviour and beliefs along with getting better information about the programs that are being conducted in the country is also estimated with the help of theory of reasoned action. However, in some situations the implementation process of this particular theory often becomes hectic as in most of the cases this is mainly used for prevention strategies and subjective health promotions.

The targets that have been considered for the SDG are going to be effective for the developing countries of the European region as it will provide a better understanding about the health and wellbeing of the larger population. This will also enhance relevant strategies for increasing risk reduction and bring about specific and relevant management within the global and national level. The local objectives that are often considered at the local level tries to provide a basis for a better strategy related to health care and promotions (Fuster Morell et al. 2020). This is going to be beneficial for the case of this particular SDG target as it will identify the different local objectives related to health and bring about significant solutions. On the contrary, identification of the local objectives might be hectic for the local authorities as in some cases lesser awareness is often present within the local authorities that might create some relevant issue.

The policies such as, free health facilities, financial solutions for long term care and similar others are going to be effective for the SDG target. This will provide the proper base in understanding the situation of the developing countries and the relevant health infrastructure that is present within the countries. This to a large extent brings about benefits for the larger population as it provides better healthcare solutions to the people and also creates awareness among. As per the ideas of Kumar et al. (2021), bringing about relevant solutions for the various challenges faced by the authorities related to SDG targets is essential as it helps in providing relevant steps for dealing with the situation in a more tactful manner. The solution that is being considered above tries to provide a relevant pavement for dealing with the challenges in a more strategic format that will help in bringing better awareness among the population and authority as well. On the contrary, for dealing with the situation in a strategic manner, understanding the SDG target is necessary for the authorities beforehand. This often creates trouble as lesser information is present within the authorities related to the SDG target (Chaves-Avila and Gallego-Bono, 2020). This can be easily considered and eliminated with the help of providing relevant information to the local authorities related to SDG and its targets. Therefore, the effectiveness of this particular SDG target is going to be beneficial for the developing countries of the European\ region as it will provide better strategies related to health risk reduction, management process and bringing about strategies for awareness related to health and social care.

Conclusion

SDG involves various targets within it that provides a proper base in creating sustainable activities that are going to be beneficial for any country and the world. Theory that is often used by the local authorities as well as national authorities is theory of reasoned action that tries to provide an important understanding about the behaviour of the larger population so that better strategies related to SDG can be made. Some challenges are often faced by the national and local authorities that involve a lack of funds, lesser information about SDG targets to the local authorities and lack of awareness to the larger population related to health and wellbeing. All these can be effectively eliminated with the help of raising proper funds from the World Bank, bringing about better awareness among the authorities and the larger population.
