The work was carried out in the framework of the formation of proposals for the project of new priority directions of scientific and technological development of Ukraine for 2021-2030. Its goal is to establish the most promising and most priority scientific and technological directions in the field of medicine for Ukraine to achieve Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 "Good health and well-being". To achieve this goal, foreign information sources on innovations in the medical field, as well as strategic program documents of the EU countries have been analyzed and key areas of global technological development have been identified. A scientometric analysis of the medical sphere was carried out on the basis of the international database Web of Science, namely, the publication activity and dynamics of citations of a selected array of publications were investigated and the directions with the highest rates of publication activity and high rates of growth of citations were identified. A patent analysis of the field of medicine was carried out, in particular, patents publications from the Derwent Innovation database that correspond to medical topics by keywords and codes of the international patent classification were selected. A selected array of patents on the dynamics of patenting and placement on a landscape map was examined. Areas with the highest rates of patent activity were highlighted. The promising technological areas of the field of medicine were identified, which included areas with the highest growth rates of publication and patent activity, high rates of citation growth and saturation of patents on the landscape map at the same time. As a result of the work, it was concluded that the most promising medical technologies in the world are: wearable devices, 3D printing, smart technologies, health trackers, augmented reality and precise (personalized) medicine. The obtained results can be used in the formation of new priority areas of scientific and technological development of Ukraine in the field of healthcare.

The Impact

This paper aims to measure disparities among the variables associated with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 defined by the United Nations (UN) in the least developed countries (LDCs) of Asia. In the terms of the UN Conference on Trade and Development, LDCs are countries with profound economic and social inequalities. The indicator was constructed using a set of variables associated with SDG3: Good Health and Wellbeing. Applying Pena’s DP2 distance method to the most recent data available (2018) enables regional ordering of Asia’s LDCs based on the values of these variables. The index integrates socioeconomic variables that permit examination of the impact of each individual indicator to determine territorial disparities in terms of the partial indicators of SDG3. “Maternal education,” “Proportion of women who make their own informed decisions regarding sexual relations, contraceptive use, and reproductive health care,” and “Gender parity index in primary education” are the most important variables in explaining spatial disparities in good health and wellbeing in the LDCs of Asia.

Health And Well Being

This article summarizes the existing approaches to investigating instruments of responsible investments in the health care system in Europe and in United States. The main research’s purpose is to identify existing instruments of responsible investment under funding Sustainable Development Goal 3: ‘Good health and well-being’. Systematization of scientific sources and approaches on the investigated issue showed no unique approach to forming a list of responsible investment instruments to finance health and well-being in Europe and United States. Hence, existing approaches vary by risk, return, suitability for financing, and so on. Therefore, the analysis and generalization of existing approaches and investigating their implementation-related practical features are the relevant scientific problem. The research’s object is the health care financing approaches of the generally recognized organizations such as the Financial Initiative for Biodiversity under the United Nations Development Program, the United States Agency for International Development and the World Bank (Biodiversity Finance Initiative United Nation Development Program, USAID, World Bank). The authors noted that these organizations contributed greatly to provide funding for these projects at the global level. For gaining the research’s goal, this study was conducted in the following logical sequence. Firstly, the authors characterized the Biofin financial decisions in health care under the United Nations Development Program. Secondly, the study systematized the U.S. Agency for International Development financing approaches regarding the Sustainable Development Goal 3. Then, the authors generalized the practical directions towards realizing the mentioned above instruments while digging into the World Bank responsible investment activity regarding health care. The study suggested the typology method to identify the key criteria for classifying responsible investment instruments. In turn, the mapping method was used to generalize the scientific background concerning health care finance. Therefore, the findings could help scientists further develop and unify the classification of responsible investment instruments regarding sustainable development and health care financing based on EU and US experience. Moreover, the obtained results enrich the existing global approaches in funding the national health care system and reaching the established Sustainable Development Goals 3 ‘Good health and well-being’.

Health And Well Being

In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of them, Goal 3, is defined as: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. In the paper, we have considered the indices proposed by Eurostat, which help to measure the level that the targets achieve. We present the dynamics of indices over the period 2002–2017. Multi-criteria statistical analysis for 28 EU countries was conducted using data up to 2017 to show how much EU countries are diversified and to present rankings of countries on their way to achieving the good health and well-being status of their citizens. The results are compared with a global SGD-Sub-Index for Goal 3, developed by Sachs et al. (2018).
