Health is a great indicator to the measure the development of a country. Insufficient healthcare in a country like Haiti is the case of many problems.
Seventy-two percent of Haiti’s population lives with less than 2USD per day, which of course impacts the health of the population. In 2011, one in twelve Haitian child died before the age of five; this ratio is higher for the poorest children. There are less than 5.9 doctors and nurses for each 10 000 inhabitants, far less than the WHO’s (World Health Organization) minimal norm of 25 doctors and nurses for 10 000 inhabitants. Haiti, expectidly, has a very low healthcare budget. This country has the most overall cases of HIV/AIDS in Caribbean islands, with 120 000 people affected.
