Maarifa Consult Health Sector

In sub-Saharan Africa, infectious diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS cause 69% of deaths. Many development partners have delivered short-term aid to African Nations to build better healthcare infrastructure in Africa and this has yielded remarkable efforts to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. However, health care in African still remains the worst in the world, with few countries able to spend the $34 to $40 a year per person that the World Health Organization considers the minimum for basic health care.
