This Article supports SDG 3 by showing that there is a high global seroprevalence of HCV infection among pregnant women (estimated at 2.2–5.3 million cases worldwide), and particularly in lower-income settings. The authors suggest policy implications, such as expanding screening programmes for pregnant women and women of childbearing age, particularly in lower-income settings.
This Article supports SDG 3 by providing estimates of HIV and hepatitis C testing and treatment uptake among people who inject drugs. Data availability was variable, and where data were available, uptake was generally suboptimal, indicating a need for countries to implement targeted interventions to improved testing, linkage to care, and treatment among people who inject drugs

Human health, in the coming decades (and already in some “front-running” regions), is in peril. Although some authorities warn that over-stating such risks can induce paralysis and despair, under-stating them will not generate the intense action that is required. The impact of climate change on the Earth system is now so significant that the next ice age will likely be delayed by at least 50,000 years [201]. If humans do not rapidly change their collective behavior, then this may be their most enduring legacy. It is hoped that this chapter makes a small contribution to SDG3.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing by explaining the different contributions to the mitochondrial toxic profile produced either by the virus or by the antiretroviral treatment.
This article highlights the impact of climate change on health, especially in the context of menopause and aging populations.
Approximately 15 per cent of the world's population live with some form of disability and 80 per cent live in developing countries.
