scoray [572]

Answer:

They have lower GDP rates which do not allow them to invest more in health care.

Explanation:

Countries that are poor economically have higher infant mortality rates than the countries which are developed and economically rich. Countries like Somalia, Afghanistan, Central African Republic are poor countries and their GDP is very less than developing and developed countries so they invest less in the health care sector compared to developing and developed countries.

Due to this reason, the health care system is poor in these countries and the infant mortality rate is very high. For example in 2018 the infant mortality rate of Afghanistan was 110.6 and Afghanistan was at first position in infant mortality rate.

What is a necessary element of every effective physical activity action plan​
lana [24]

Evaluating your skills is a key component to a successful physical activity action plan. Assessing yourself through physical tests (e.g. weight and girth measurements) could give you an idea what exactly you want to happen in your training program. Aside from knowing your structure, you should also assess yourself if you are fit enough or you have certain medical conditions that would prohibit you from performing certain activities (e.g. high blood pressure, hypertension). 

In doing so, you not only ensure the success of your training action plan, but you also secured your safety before executing the activities you assigned for yourself.
