| Abstract: | There is a stark difference between health care in western countries like the UK and that of poorer, less developed countries. The United Nations Development Programme (2005) has shown that the death rate in children under the age of 5years in sub-Saharan Africa is 179 in 1000, whereas in the UK it is 6 in 1000. Life expectancy for a woman in sub-Saharan Africa is 46 years of age, while in the UK it is 78 years. |
