Sustainable Development Goal Three is rightly ambitious, but achieving it will require doing global health differently. Among other things, progressive civil society organisations will need to be recognised and supported as vital partners in achieving the necessary transformations. We argue, using illustrative examples, that a robust civil society can fulfill eight essential global health functions. These include producing compelling moral arguments for action, building coalitions beyond the health sector, introducing novel policy alternatives, enhancing the legitimacy of global health initiatives and institutions, strengthening systems for health, enhancing accountability systems, mitigating the commercial determinants of health and ensuring rights-based approaches. Given that civil society activism has catalyzed tremendous progress in global health, there is a need to invest in and support it as a global public good to ensure that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can be realised.
可持续发展目标3雄心勃勃，这是合理的，但要实现这一目标，将需要以不同方式开展全球卫生工作。除其他事项外，进步的民间社会组织需要被认可并作为实现必要变革的重要伙伴得到支持。我们通过实例表明，强大的民间社会可以履行八项基本的全球卫生职能。这些职能包括为行动提出令人信服的道德论据、在卫生部门之外建立联盟、引入新颖的政策选择、增强全球卫生倡议和机构的合法性、加强卫生系统、强化问责制、减轻健康的商业决定因素以及确保基于权利的方法。鉴于民间社会行动主义已在全球卫生领域催化了巨大进展，有必要将其作为全球公益物进行投资和支持，以确保能够实现《2030年可持续发展议程》。
