Country With High Mortality Rates

These scenarios are in complete contrast with some of the countries of poor health care system. One of these countries is Nigeria which has been suffering from a stagnant health care system. Its people either have limited access to health care or none at all. Many blame this problem to the prevalence of fake drugs, AIDS epidemic and the unhealthy lifestyles of the people while others point at the lack of health policy as the culprit.

Lastly, the overall quality of life most likely is not has good as middle and high income countries. One in low income country will always have to worry about their health where as here in the US I feel as if we have little worry about getting sick or having a deadly disease getting too far spread through our country.

Ghana itself is on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea and south of the Atlantic ocean. Burkina Faso is to the north of the country, and Togo is to the east. It has three important regions that are the coastal, forest and Savanna regions. The forest region is about one third of the country. The land of Ghana is mostly flat plain, but has many forests.

CV: So in Ghana West Africa country located a little above the equator in the central part of West Africa. Is a small country the size of Oregon Ghana never would I have known where it was other than Africa or that I wanted to go there.

The health of many women in Algeria which is part of Sub-Saharan Africa in 1990 were impacted by the poor health care system because they lived in poverty. Poverty caused these women to lack essential needs to live a quality life. They lacked or could not afford resources such as supplies, health care professionals, and facilities for healthcare, clean water, and waste disposal. This ultimately affected the health of women and their children. For instance, lack of clean water and waste disposal facilities can cause health abnormalities such as cholera or typhoid fever which can cause devastating deaths. This is a healthcare problem because of the lack of funding. The lack of funding prevents antibiotics from being used to prevent death, and prevents African’s from being vaccinated against typhoid fever. Another example of how poverty affects woman’s health is unintended pregnancy, which is because they are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior. It's part of the health crisis because it includes a poor health system, and a lack of education about proper nutrition and behaviors during pregnancy. Complications in these pregnancies due to poor nutrition and not visiting the doctor regularly includes increased infant mortality. Infant mortality in the slums of Nairobe is 91.3% while it is 75.9% in urban areas where there is a better developed healthcare system. The inferiority of poor Africans in

There were many economic struggles in Ghana that put sever stress on the residents. Because of the lack of money there are a huge number of people that are unemployed and will continue to be for a very long amount of time. Those between the ages of 18 and 35 are most commonly struggling through being jobless but this makes up so much of Ghana’s population. With a scarcity of money, infrastructural struggles begin to occur which is not easy to deal with. They barely have electricity, running water, heat, etc. and this can result in many uncomfortable results.

There are 7,295 people over 65 years old, which makes it count 13.6% of the total population in 2010. In 2014, there are 7736 people over 65 years old living in

Africa is home to many extraordinary and remarkable countries. One of these countries is Chad, which is only about eighty-five percent the size of the state of Alaska. While Chad may appear small, the people there speak more than 120 different languages. Chad has six neighboring countries: Niger, Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon, and Nigeria. This country is named after the famous Lake Chad.

This paper examines the first section of the Country Health Profile that assesses the disease burden of the chosen country by providing a brief overview of the country, describes the major health issues in the country, the leading cause of deaths, health problems that cause the most disability, the risk factors that drive the most death and disability, and some examples of health problems that are becoming more or less prevalent over time. The chosen country for this paper is Chad. Chad is a landlocked country in northern Central Africa that occupies an area of 1,284,000 km² and has a population of 14.1 million people (The World Bank, 2015). The landscape of the country varies, extensive arid plains in the center, a desert in the north, mountains

I will consider life expectancy, maternal mortality and infant mortality as indicators of global health and analyze their intercountry and time changes.

Ghana is a country found along the Gulf of Guinea in the sub region of West Africa in the African continent. It is bordered to the west by Ivory Coast; to the north by Burkina Faso; to the east by Togo and to the south by the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Medical knowledge is less than adequate in these societies, leading to much illness and a very high death rate. The infant mortality rate is overwhelmingly high, which is a reason for the high birth rates. Many infants do not make it through their first year of life before they get deathly ill - most of them do eventually die from their illness. The medical technology of modern society is so expensive to third world countries, making it extremely difficult for their society to stay healthy. Life expectancy is about 40-45 years in traditional societies.

The physical, mental and social well-being of every citizen (World Health Organization, 1946) is a core value for every institution, because it affects the productivity and determines the economic power of that country. Health is central to the value of a nation and revolves around the model of the health system, financing procedures and policies put in place to govern healthcare (Skolnik, 2012). According to social scientist, the enablement to perform ones social duties or function as required is term as health (World Health Organization, 2005). Because, illness affect person’s capacity of performance and involvement in daily activities, also its quality of life and length of life years (World Health Organization, 2005). Indicators such as life expectancy, health life expectancy (HALE), disability adjusted life year (DALYS) and quality adjusted life year (QALYS) are been use globally as indices to evaluate health status of a given population both in the presence or absence of disease or intervention (Skolnik, 2012). The goal of every society is to reduce the DALYS and enhance the QALYS and HALE at a lowest possible cost with great utility. Because increase in DALYS is an indicator of unhealthy society either due to poor health system or health behaviours (Skolnik, 2012).

Ghana is a country of many firsts: the first to win a medal in the Olympics for football, first to be a sub- saharan country, and first to use seashells as money. Ghana is a West African country that boarders the Gulf of Guinea, Cote d’ Ivoire, and Togo. It’s comparable to the U.S state, Oregon at 92,100 square miles. Ghana, the richest country in West Africa, once used sea shells as money.
