iven the importance of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) setting national agendas and policies to improve public health, this article examines whether SDG 3 and its associated indicators have an adequate theory of change for improving health systems performance. To do so, this article maps all SDG 3 indicators to a prominent health systems framework. The analysis reveals that SDG 3 tracks four input indicators, 15 output / outcome indicators, and 18 impact indicators. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), SDG 3 tracks population health across a wide array of disease areas. However, SDG 3 has several limitations in its approach to improving health systems performance. It does not track primary health care inputs, financial risk protection, or user satisfaction with the health system, and it does not provide a comprehensive approach to prevent, diagnose, treat, and manage any disease. Future directions for research include conducting a similar mapping for other SDGs and documenting early country experiences implementing SDG 3 given these challenges
