Diseases

In Africa, many deaths result from unsanitary conditions, with significant fatalities attributed to malaria and HIV annually. These deaths could be prevented with improved healthcare and better enforcement of health regulations.

Diseases

At least 45% of Africa is in turmoil right now due to protests such as Nigeria. Civil war has an effect in a country's economy as well. Civil unrest is a result when the population feels that their voices are not heard.

Organization such as the SMART (South-South Malaria Antigen research Partnership) are developing antigens. This allow each person to develop immunity to malaria instead of getting a vaccine. It is required for a person to get 3 vaccines to be immune. Some African countries, healthcare is not covered. Therefore it is difficult for the people to afford vaccines

Every year in Africa, there are deaths that are caused due to unsanitary conditions such as Malaria with 500,000 deaths and HIV with 380,000 deaths per year. However, these deaths could have been prevented through finding a better alternative than the current treatment

The government should ensure that the law is enforced. Laws that relates to health regulations are not being enforced enough.

Adults

Although adults has a stronger immune system, it does not mean that they are not vulnerable to viruses.

Death as a result if the infection is left untreated due to financial hardships.
