Yr12 - Reducing differences in development
Another of the big problems facing Mozambique is the fight against the spread of Aids (HIV).
Preventing the spread of Aids/HIV in Mozambique is vitally important when attempting to develop the country. Reducing the strain on the health care system and keeping people healthy is really the only way the economy of the country will develop.
The statistics shown below - taken from the United Nations website illustrate the full impact of this disease on the population of Mozambique.
HIV and AIDS estimates (2014)
Number of people living with HIV - 1.5 million
Adults aged 15-49 with HIV - 10.6%
Women aged 15 and up living with HIV - 830'000
Children aged 0-14 living with HIV - 160'000
Death due to AIDS - 45'000
Orphans due to AIDS - 610'000
UNICEF has been attempting to make sure that women are educated about HIV and how to prevent the spread of AIDS and HIV.
