The present study is explorative and intends to determine the effectiveness of the Sustainable Development Goal 3 which states, “Ensuring a healthy life and promoting well-being for all ages,” in achieving the outcomes of other Sustainable Development Goals. It is understood that good health and well-being are direct outcomes of other SDGs as well. As SDGs’ main goal is to empower people, it inherently requires the excellence of well-being in the first place to develop social and economic aspects of human life. The study attempts to determine if the health paradigm has the potential to influence other Sustainable Development Goals. The key areas considered in the study in relation to health are social, economical and environmental factors. The impact of integrating health in broader developmental policies is assessed along with potential limitations or challenges of such an inclusive approach. The study has used a systemic approach which includes review of existing literature along with critical analysis of documents and reports.
