Health Problems
The country has a worrisome health situation. Most of the health problems are associated with infectious diseases and nutritional deficiencies amenable to preventive measures. Issues such as widespread poverty, low education levels, inadequate access to safe water, sanitation facilities and health services contribute to the ill health situation.
Indicators such as infant mortality (97 per 1000); under 5 morality (140.1 per 1000) and maternal mortality (871 per 100,000) speak more on the health and the general socioeconomic situation of the country.
