Health Problems….
• * HIV/AIDS- The deadliest disease in Africa.
• Malaria- A disease spread by mosquitoes that can lead to death without vaccination.
• The amount of pollution in Africa makes it easier to get sick.
• The literacy rate in these countries is very low. Thus, there aren’t enough Drs to go around.
• Because Literacy rate is low, that means GDP is low, so there is not enough medicine to go around either.

• Many Africans live in Poverty. Poverty means they are unable to financially obtain the things they need to survive.
• Bad economies mean there is inadequate infrastructure-transportation, hospitals, schools, factories, government offices, stores, etc
• The average wage for a person living in suburban Africa is less than $1 a day.

Government Problems….
• The governments in Africa have been very unstable since they won their independence from Europe.
• Many countries are constantly at war with each other. Mainly, it is the ethnic groups fighting each other.
• Because governments are unstable, they are unable to control the economy or healthcare or Education of their country.
• Thus, European Colonization leads to bad government, which leads to bad economies, which lead to bad healthcare systems.
