Poor health and diseases also serve as major causes of death in most developing countries. Death due to poor health brings about stunted growth in a nation’s population. A nation with a significant number of people affected by different types of diseases also has a lower birth rate since individuals cannot give birth to more children because of their poor health status. Children and the young generation are also a group of vulnerable individuals who are affected by the negative effects of various diseases that influence their nation.
Haiti’s population growth rate has been seriously disturbed by the increase in the number of individuals contracting different forms of diseases. The main disease affecting the population growth of Haiti is Malaria which has mostly affected the younger generation. Malaria is a common disease in Haiti due to mosquito bites.
Mosquitoes in Haiti have become uncontrollable due to the large breeding areas created after different natural disasters in the country, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Treating the large number of individuals suffering from the disease is also hectic since there are few facilities and a small number of trained medical practitioners who cannot attend to a large number of sick patients in the nation.
