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.

The reason that disease is such a big problem in Africa is because Africa is a third world country. They are suffering from lack of clean environment and that includes food, water and living conditions. They don't have the resources to give to their people in Africa and because they cant provide they don't get enough medical attention. People in Africa don't have life insurance or things we have that take care of the common flu. They get sick and die from things that easily treated here and because they cant treat the disease it spreads and there is no way to contain it without the CDC or medical care we get. So unfortunately they have to suffer until someone who really cares a whole lot and has the money to help them. They suffer because they cant provide the proper care it takes to live a healthy normal disease free life.

Hopefully this answers your question.
