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
Residents of Australia’s remote regions have lower life expectancies and poorer health outcomes than other Australians. Access to hospital and specialist care frequently requires transport via road or air and time spent away from family and community. The paper explores consumer perspective and identifies areas for improvement.
This article ties to SDG3 by examining ambient temperature and inpatient mortality
The Accord comprises nine key principles that guide Aboriginal health research in South Australia: priorities, involvement, partnership, respect, communication, reciprocity, ownership, control, and knowledge translation and exchange. It provides a voice for Aboriginal communities to inform researchers on how they would like health research to be conducted in their communities. Consistently applying the nine principles of the Accord will increase the impact and benefit of health research for Aboriginal people in Australia.

This Series paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by synthesising data from 127 existing studies on various aspects of climate change, including the effects of different climate factors on a wide range of health outcomes, climate change awareness and engagement, adaptation strategies, and policy implementation in Vietnam.
This Series paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by highlighting significant impacts of climate-related environmental extremes on the health and well-being of Australians.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by examining published literature on climate and air quality driven health outcomes in Singapore, and discusses mitigating strategies.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by summarising key climate risk drivers; potential climate-sensitive health risks; relevant climate change policy, legislation and activities, in Aotearoa New Zealand.
