Event Details

The causes of poor health for millions globally are rooted in political, social and economic injustices. HIV, diarrhoea, tuberculosis and malaria, as well as communicable respiratory diseases such as pneumonia kill the most people. Diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria account for nearly half of all child deaths globally. Neglected tropical diseases affect over one billion people, almost all in the poorest and most marginalised communities.   Source : https://www.healthpovertyaction.org/news-events/key-facts-poverty-and-poor-health/
