Abstract
The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals SDGs cover a broad range of social and economic issues Specifically the Goal 3 relating to health is targeted at ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all people The necessity of health and a healthy lifestyle is very germane to Africa considering the social and economic encumbrances and the failure of governance in Africa Different perspectives have been revealed in academic literatures and within the framework of health professionals in tackling health issues in the world There are those who clamour for recreation sports and exercise as a means to achieving health Also there is the biomedical perspective which focuses on providing a clear understanding of the causes of diseases and their physiological consequences leading to more effective treatment and prevention And there is the contemporary holistic view of health which sees health as having spiritual psychological and physical dimensions of a person balanced But the biblical view of health points to a deeper root of health issues which are still neglected by these aforementioned perspectives Therefore the paper explores the biblical perspective of health as a means to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal on health in Africa
