Description

The data and trends in morbidity and mortality for the sub-Saharan Region as presented in this edition reflect the heavy toll that HIV/AIDS has had on health indicators, leading to either a stalling or reversal of the gains made, not just for communicable disorders, but for cancers, as well as mental and neurological disorders.
