Why Focus on Africa and Asia

Burden of Common Diseases in Africa

Deaths in Africa fell largely in the WHO Group 1 category (death through communicable diseases, and perinatal, maternal and nutritional causes): 5.9-million deaths amounting to 61.7% of all deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. Group 2 death are as a result of non-communicable diseases, accounted for 2.7-million deaths or 28.6% of all deaths. This category includes heart disease (293,000 deaths), various forms of cancer (426,000) and diabetes (175,000). Group 3, deaths through injury, amounted for 939,000 deaths, or 9.8% of the total.

There are common similarities in all the countries. Despite existing policies and programs to prevent and control communicable diseases, most countries have failed to eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases. Other factors include law of sustainable financing to scale up interventions, especially for emerging and re-emerging diseases that can produce epidemics and pandemics.
