Abstract
The paper assesses the role of local medical libraries in attaining the SDG-3, outlining
various roles they performed towards realizing the health agenda. Following an exploratory
approach and conducting an extensive review of related literature and personal interviews
with professionals of leading medical libraries of Manipur: Regional Institute of Medical
Sciences (RIMS), Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), and Shija Academy
of Health Sciences (SAHS), it attempts to trace their roles in achieving SDG-3. The study
focussed on two research questions to be answered through a) a review of the past studies and
b) an evaluation of the interview responses, which aims to reveal if the local libraries support
the agenda of the UN-SDG:3 and if so, to what extent. However, as the analysis observations
have revealed, more activities need to be executed by the medical libraries of Manipur to
achieve the different targets of SDG-3. A local support system must be implemented to achieve
these global goals.
