UNIT 4: PROBLEMS FACING THE DEVELOPING WORLD

SESSION 1: PROBLEM 1. POOR HEALTH

EXERCISE 1
There are four main reasons why people in developing countries have poor health.  One is that there are poor sanitation facilities.  For example, 2.9 billion people do not have things like clean drinking water.  A second reason is that there is a shortage of doctors and nurses.  Also, there is no free health care as people have to pay for their medicines. 

EXERCICE 2

United Kingdom

 SUDAN
75 years
Life Expectancy
52 years

7 per 1000 babies born
Infant Mortality
(How many babies die per 1000 born)

107 per 1000 babies born

1 Doctor: 710 patients
Doctor Patient Ratio
(How many patients a doctor looks after)
1 doctor: 11,110 patients


I think United Kingdom is the healthiest country because the table shows that people the live 75 years, whereas in Sudan people live 52 years.
