Purpose: The article aims to assess the situation of the European Union countries regarding health promotion and protection. The study has adopted indicators related to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3) in 27 EU countries in two research periods (2014 and 2020) so that it will be possible to assess the situation of the studied countries and indicate which countries have improved or not their situation related to the studied phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach: A taxonomic measure of development based on Weber's median vector was used to assess the implementation of SDG3 in EU countries. Upon its basis, rankings of EU countries were constructed, and typological groups of similar levels were determined due to the studied phenomenon. Findings: The study results showed that the older EU member states are characterised by a better situation in health protection and promotion compared to the newer, mostly post- communist countries. The best-rated countries in the first research period were Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark, while in the second one, it was again Sweden, the Netherlands and Ireland. Social implications: The results of the studies presented in this paper can be useful for the diagnosis of the results achieved so far and for the revision of the health policy of the whole European Union as well as of the individual countries in the future. Originality/value: This article is part of the debate on combining health promotion and protection, emphasising a balanced diet and physical activity, and sustainable development. Health promotion, a process that enables people to increase control and improve their health, is expected to play an important (and transformative) role in achieving the sustainable development of Goal 3 (ensuring health for all and at all ages).

W pracy zajmujemy się zagadnieniem, które znane jest powszechnie jako konstrukcja mediany Webera. Chodzi mianowicie o znalezienie takiego punktu w przestrzeni Rn, że suma jego odległości od m danych punktów w tejże przestrzeni jest najmniejsza. Prezentujemy historię badań w tej dziedzinie począwszy od najprostszej formy tego problemu, tj. minimalizacji sumy odległości od wierzchołków trójkąta, którym zajmowano się w XVII i XVIII wieku aż po współczesne wyniki w tym zakresie i jego dalsze uogólnienia. Wskazujemy także na możliwości jego zastosowań w statystyce i ekonometrii.

The paper is devoted to a problem, which is commonly known as a construction of the Weber median. A point in Rn/, such that the sum of its Euclidean distances from the m given points in this space achieves its minimum, has to be found. We present the history of research concerning this question, starting from the simplest form of it, i.e. the minimization of sum of distances from the vertices of triangle, which was investigated in the 17th and 18th centuries and finishing at the modern results in this matter and its further generalizations. We indicate also possibilities of its applications in statistics and econometrics.
