Causes

There are many causes of the health problems in Africa:

• In a recent study it has been shown that the money given to the hospital is $10 for people, but it is at least needed $27 per people.

• Other cause is that they don´t know about some of the diseases.

• The vital resources of medicine like protective nets from mosquitoes, architecture,etc. They are limited to the cities, while the rural villages have almost none of those resources.

• In fact, only the 40% of people in Africa has clean water, which is a cause why a lot of people, especially children die.

• More than 10 millon  of deaths were children, 99% of whom came from developing countries.

• Over 50% of child deaths were caused by respiratory infections, diarrhea, malaria, HIV/AIDS (the last three explain most child deaths in Africa).


• HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis are closely related. Over 70% of HIV positive South Africans are also infected with tuberculosis.

• The disease burden per person in Sub-Saharan Africa increased between 1990 and
 2001, mostly because of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria

• Every year there are 9 million new cases of tuberculosis, and 1.6millons of deaths due to
this diseases

• Malnutrition remains one of the main causes of diseases in Africa
