Infectious diseases are largely responsible for the health inequalities between developing nations and developed nations. More than 70 per cent of the world s HIV/ AIDS cases and 90 per cent of the world s malaria infections occur in Africa. Ninety per cent of the deaths from TB and diarrhea each year occur in the developing world (lOWH 2005). The average HALE at birth was 38.7 in Chad, 33.2 in Ethiopia, 29.8 in Malawi,...
