Abstract: The implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the targets proposed by its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a public awareness of all actors regarding the transition to sustainable development. This is a commitment of the European Union, given its commitment to the United Nations and its principles, as well as the desire to build a safer and better Europe for all, enshrined in the European Treaties and at the heart of European policies. Monitoring the progress of the SDGs at the level of the European Union is necessary to contribute to maximizing the progress in achieving the global objectives. For this purpose, through the present research, we want to highlight the trends regarding ensuring a healthy life and promoting the well-being of all, but also highlight the degree of fulfillment of the assumed targets through a statistical analysis of the main indicators, specific to SDG 3 at the level of the European Union. For this, we used the available European databases for the indicators selected in the research, starting from 2015 (the year of the adoption of the 2030 Agenda) and ending with the most recent statistical data. The analysis undertaken shows that some of the indicators (healthy life expectancy, perception of personal health status, standardized preventable and treatable mortality rate, self-reported unsatisfied need for examination and medical care) have been negatively affected in their evolution due to the pandemic COVID-19. If in the period before COVID19 there was progress in terms of the evolution of the main indicators of SDG 3, with the outbreak of the pandemic and, more recently, with the Russian-Ukrainian war, it is noted that the road to the proposed targets for the year 2030 has been made more difficult.
