The Angolan Government

An unstable backbone can obstruct the re-establishment of public services in any given case; infrastructural problems are common in both the agencies and the state; and they can occur because the supporting foundations are weak and scattered. A common occurrence is a state 's’ hopes to fix several problems at a time. During the 2006 International AIDS conference, President Bill Clinton stated: "If you first develop the health infrastructure throughout the whole country, particularly in Africa, to deal with AIDS you will increase the infrastructure of dealing with maternal and child health, malaria, and TB. Then I think you have to look at nutrition, water, and sanitation. All these things, when you build it up, you 'll be helping to promote economic development and alleviate poverty." (Garrett 2010) However, existent cases of successful health care establishment have not proven economic development, like the case of Haiti in 2006, who despite combatting HIV, plummeted economically during the same period of time. (Garrett 2010)The reason why healthcare does not equal economic progress or poverty alleviation is because other conditions can still remain existent: lack of cooperative government, lack of absorptive capacity and corruption. Although, health and economy shall not be developed independently, one is not the causality of the other, health shall progress with “early detection of disease and education in principles of healthy living” (Beaglehole and Bonita 1997, 211)

In the United States, there are the privileges of incredible doctors, medicine, insurance, and many other resources that help the society stay healthy and prevent disease. Disease and sickness can be detrimental to a society. For example, something as simple as getting a flu shot saves lives around the world every year. In the Congo, vaccines are lucky to come by and are extremely valued. When people in a society are prone to disease, this affects how effective the society can be as a whole. Furthermore, this starts from the youth. The youth in the Congo are deprived of basic health requirements, causing the Congo to be an ineffective and war torn society.

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.

An interesting fact that came across was that there was some free African Americans bought and sold other (black) African Americans and did it until 1654.

The residents of Africa are suffering from preventable, treatable, and fatal diseases everyday at a higher rate compared to developed countries. The healthcare crisis in Africa is the primary cause of all these deaths, and includes inefficient healthcare systems. Consequently, African's inefficient healthcare systems results in poor delivery of care and a shortage of health professionals. The healthcare crisis in Africa is a current issue impacting the lives of many African's who don't have the same access to resources as developed countries such as the United States. These resources can save the lives of many African's dying of preventable and curable disease, and understanding why the African continent has little access to them

My current health issue in an underdeveloped country is the recent measles outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This country is prone to many disease epidemics, as a result of frequent wars, which have resulted in poor health infrastructure and government services. Many people are not able to get access to or afford the proper medical care that they need, and this can contribute to the spreading of the disease. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, measles is often a life-threatening issue, along with occurrences of malaria and cholera. Many additional factors have also led to the large number of people infected, such as shortages of medicine and trained medical staff, the delay in medical relief due to the failure of authorities

I am originally from Togo, West Africa, and I moved to the United States of America about six (06) years ago to live with my parent. My country has a storage of several things such as the healthcare system, stable hospitals with experienced doctors and nurses, new technologies, and etc. In Africa, there are not enough medical equipment or modern technology to save lives. Hospitals are alienated by people who need them the most, and if people manage to go to the hospital, they do not have the money to pay the hospital bills. In addition, sometimes they have serious diseases that doctors cannot find a cure for. Ultimately, many people lose their lives every day to diseases that are not yet known, for instance, Ebola disease outrage. Healthcare is one of Africa’s biggest problems beside food crisis reason why I am engaging in medical studies, starting with a BSN degree at Clarkson College. If time allows, I will possibly pursue further studies in the field. Maybe someday, I will provide better training to my native country healthcare staff with my competence. I can probably assist them with new medical technology as well if my finances allow me.

The healthcare in this country is on it’s last limb and can’t function. The government wants to help the public but the whole financial system is failing, and trying to help everyone isn’t realistic. The government has tried to reach out and help the community however the outcome only backfires when everyone isn't treated equally because of the mass population they have. Many people are saying the Democratic Republic of the Congo is already a dead country.

Angola’s ordinary corporate tax is 35 percent, with a reduced rate of 20 percent for agricultural and forestry enterprises. The government offers a variety of corporate tax exemptions, reductions, and exemptions from real estate taxes on land and buildings as investment incentives.

Have you ever heard of a country called Angola? Angola is an southwestern African country full of untold interesting facts. It is surrounded by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo, Zambia, and Namibia. As the twenty third largest nation (referring to land), it is 1,246,700 square kilometers, and has the population of about 19 million people. Its capital, Luanda, has the population of about 5 million people, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

More than 50% of Gabonese people are under the age of 24 (“The World Factbook, Gabon”). This means that Gabon is still a relatively young country and has some problems with proving their people with jobs. Most people though are educated and can read, Gabon has a HDI of 0.697, which means that it is a developing country (“Human Development Reports, Gabon”). There is approximately a total of 1.7 million people in Gabon and that means it is a well educated country with a lot of unemployed people. These people all have access to a health care system and even though they have this they are more susceptible to certain disease, like HIV/AIDS (“Gabon Health Insurance”). Gabonese people have a low death rate of 13/1000 people and every family has on average 4 children. The country is growing by having the better Health care system. The people themselves are pretty united, after all there isn’t a lot of them. Many though differ on their ideals and where their country should be representing. The government in some places does not have the complete support of the people. The people together made the country, but after they had a disagreement their overall value of their country went down by a

Africa’s greatest running war was formally brought to an end on April 4 when the both sides in Angola’s civil war signed a tranquility deal over a 26-year conflict that began when the country was affirmed independent in 1975.

I have learned so numerous things in healthcare, and I would like to address how to improve health care in the developing countries. HIV, maternal and infant mortality are some of the ongoing issues. The ratio physician to population

The population of Botswana below the poverty line is 47% (CIA-The World Factbook-Botswana). Botswana 's people have very poor living conditions and many of the people do not have access to safe drinking water. After contracting the HIV virus, one 's immune system is much more susceptible to infectious diseases; these diseases are brought by the unsafe drinking water or the unacceptable living conditions. These more-susceptible people may catch infectious and fatal diseases. The poor people also have reduced access to health services. When Botswana 's HIV infected people are exposed to an unhealthy environment or unsafe water, they are very likely to be infected by diseases that their slowed immune systems cannot fight off. This results in many more deaths of AIDS infected people. Poverty can also cause more HIV transmission. It is common for young girls to have sex with men to get money to pay for schooling or food (AIDS in Africa). This is not right and is putting these young girls at risk of infection; young girls should not need money bad enough to have to get it from a man by having sex with him. Also, with poverty comes a lack of education, education about the horrors of AIDS and how to prevent it. There needs to be a solution for the half of Botswana that lives in poverty and does not receive a proper
