There are seventeen important goals of the SDGs, one of which is that healthy and prosperous lives at all ages are essential for sustainable development. Health and Well-Being occupies the third goal point of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) which are expected to be achieved by 2030. SDGs are global action plans agreed by world leaders, including Indonesia, to end poverty, reduce inequality and protect the environment. Children are the future of the nation who are the pioneers of realizing the sustainable development goals of a nation. Health and welfare insurance is an important part of realizing the ideals of the nation's children. The issue of children's health and well-being is still an important focus in the world. This study used three variables, namely health level, wage level as an indicator of welfare, and poverty level. This study used panel data that examined each variable in 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2015 to 2022. The results showed that health levels did not have a significant effect on poverty rates, although increasing health levels can reduce the number of poor people. Another variable is Wellbeing using wage level indicators, showing a significant relationship where if health levels improve then poverty will decrease.
