Central Africa
How does disease impact people in Central Africa?Disease impacts people in Central Africa by making many suffer and even die. By suffer I mean that the person that gets the disease or the people that had family or friend that suffered one of the diseases. I know about this because when doing my research I read that, "Malaria is a huge killer of children in Rwanda, in part because a lot of families can't even afford a simple $5 mosquito net that would protect a child from contracting the illness." This also mentions that the families didn't have the money to spend on vaccinations and cures for these more serious diseases.
Reflection to the unit: Learning about disease in Central Africa has taught me about issues in other places than just where I live. Also about diseases that I may not have ever have heard of because they aren't involved with my daily life here in the U.S.
