Sustainable Development Goal 3, "Good Health and Well-being," seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for people of all ages. This goal is essential because it touches on the quality of life, social stability, and economic productivity across the globe. At World Citi Colleges, SDG 3 offers a powerful opportunity to lead by example in building a healthier society through education, research, healthcare training, and community outreach. WCC's dedication to comprehensive education, particularly in health sciences, positions it as a key player in the global pursuit of health and well-being.
SDG 3 covers a wide range of health-related targets, including reducing maternal mortality, tackling infectious diseases, ensuring universal access to healthcare, and addressing the social and environmental determinants of health. It also highlights the need for resilient healthcare systems that can withstand global health emergencies, as seen with the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2030, the goal is to significantly improve healthcare systems worldwide, reduce health inequalities, and promote mental, physical, and environmental well-being.
For World Citi Colleges, aligning with SDG 3 means using its educational platform- particularly in health-related programs to cultivate healthier communities and shape the next generation of healthcare professionals. This is achieved through curriculum development, innovative healthcare training, impactful research, and strategic partnerships.
One of WCC's strengths lies in its comprehensive healthcare programs, which focus on producing skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals. With courses in nursing, pharmacy, radiologic technology, and medical technology, WCC ensures that students are well-equipped with both the technical expertise and ethical foundation needed for the field. Graduates from these programs are not only proficient in their specialties but also dedicated to providing inclusive and empathetic healthcare.
The commitment of World Citi Colleges extends beyond its campus to the communities it serves, such as Cuyumbay and Marikina. Through projects like "PROJECT KASAMA: Kalusugan para sa Masa" and "PISIKALUSUGAN: Mga Pisikal Therapist Tungo sa Magsigla at Malusog na Pamayanan," WCC has actively worked to enhance health and well-being within these communities. These initiatives underscore the institution's calling to serve, showing how a school can be a vital force in creating a healthier and more productive society.

Through the institution’s commitment to healthcare education, community outreach, and research, World Citi Colleges is poised to make a significant impact in turning this vision into reality.
