Why?

According to reports, the healthcare infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa remains the worst in the world. The World Health Organization states that the minimum expenditure for basic health care is between $34 to $40 a year per person – a small number for the average working person in America. However, due to widespread poverty, many are unable to afford it.
