Country Report

You should research health challenges facing the country you selected. Select two health issues to address—one communicable disease and one non-communicable health problem. The non-communicable disease may NOT be diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or obesity. The latter can be a disease or a social or behavioral health issue such as human trafficking, drug trade, violence against women, access to contraception, access to health care, etc. DO NOT go into detail about the disease itself or about prevention of the health conditions. Your paper should focus on how your selected health conditions are a result of the conditions in the country and all information presented about the health conditions should be give in the context of the country. Any discussion of a health condition without relating the disease to the conditions of the country will result in a lower grade. Include the following in the second installment of your paper:
