Based on the annual WHO report for 2017 «World health statistics 2017: monitoring health for the SDGs, sustainable development goals» the values of indicators of achievement of SDG3 inthe field of sustainable development were analyzed for Ukraine and the countries of the WHO European Region in 2015. It was determined that one of the main directions to achieve the goals of sustainable development in the field of health is the fight against non-communicable diseases, which are one of the main problems in the field of health and development of the 21st century. Based on WHO data, mortality from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases aged 30 to 70 years in the European Region in 2015 were analyzed. According to the data presented by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the value of the standardized death rate (SDR) from cardiovascular diseases in all age groups per 100 000 population of Ukraine and Spain was analyzed. A comparative analysis of SDR from diseases of the circulatory system of the population of Ukraine and Spain was conducted with the aim of demonstrating the need to pay more attention to the problem of circulatory system diseases, as one of the main causes of death of the population.
