Disease is such a problem in Africa because many people do not have money to go to hospitals or buy drugs. Well, this is not the whole of Africa, it is just seen in some very poor areas. In these areas, many people do not have access to clean water, food or environment. Due to this, they have to live that way. And some are not educated, and do not know which areas might be contaminated. Well, according to statistics, which may not be true, 2000 African children die from malaria per day. Well, malaria is caused by mosquitoes, these mosquitoes come from dirty environment. When the people are too poor to afford the necessary equipment to stop it, they are severely affected. hope i helped.
