About Uganda
Many of these ailments can be prevented with proper education and hygiene. Unfortunately, such education is extensively lacking in Uganda, as the government continues to focus it's primary energies on rebuilding the economic stability of the nation. Frequent refugee influxes from the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo to west also serve to introduce large-scale exposure to new or recently-battled diseases to the population. With a landmass slightly smaller than the state of Oregon and a population over 10 times higher at 31.3 million people, such exposure rapidly spreads, compounding the necessity for a prepared, healthy, and educated populace. |
