Health and nutrition

Health and nutrition are the most important necessities of life. But in a lot of developing countries there is a shortage of food and bad medical facilities. A lot of people get sick or even die because of these shortages.

Nutrition

Good nutrition is essential for a good health. But it is impossible in a lot of developing countries‘. This has different reasons:

Dryness
Rainfall
Flooding
Tornado‘s
War
Governmental measures

Because of economical reasons, national governments stimulate the cultivation of export products. With that, the countries would like to have bigger incomes and therefore challenge poverty. These expectations become not always realized. Besides that, it often leads to less cultivation of food-plants. Because of this the certainty comes in danger with sometimes-disastrous results for formally children, women and elderly.

Health

Many developing countries are not adequately delivering basic health care services, including medicines, to their populations. There are different problems that have to do with health in a country:

There is no, or little, functioning public health system for health care and medicines
There is a lack of qualified doctors
There is no storage or distribution system for medicines what results in a huge waste of medicines
The infrastructure is not adequate
There is no electricity or clean water
There is no money to provide health care services
