AIDS is growing fastest in the poorest countries of Africa. These nations don’t have enough doctors, medical labs, or money for
medicine. A recent study showed that only a small percentage of HIV-infected children in Africa are getting any medical treatment at all. What central idea is emphasized in both sources?
Africa constitutes about 390 million people living in extreme poverty. Scarcity of money leads to unprotected sex and vulnerability to infections. Children can be protected from mother-to-child transmission but inadequate health systems of Africa make it even worse. There are about 650,000 children with AIDS in Africa. There are 1000 infected infants born every day in Africa.
The changes I think are likely to affect healthcare in the future and how we can plan for them now are taking care of how you eat, what you eat, and how much you exercise.
