Underdevelopment impact on so many areas of our lives. Africa is crawling in growth and how that is affecting her citizensenry.

This gap between the highest and the lowest is too big, all the countries need to help the less fortunate so that this gap can be reduced!

This is an indication to the standard of living and effect of poverty in African countries. Thanks for sharing, the great statistician

It's pretty clear to me from this data that Africa needs international support for health and development.

For a continent to be so rich in resources and yet so unhealthy for its inhabitants is a problem the world myst help to resolve... Cheers!

The system of governance in Africa is the major contributor to the poor living of her people, Africa is blessed indeed but a blessing not well managed doesn't have any choice than to manifest its opposite factors. We believe in change and therefore there is hope for improvement and good living.

I couldn't agree any less with @braveboat

Wondering why HK can get the highest life expectancy, good healthcare?

Wow! Naija is always known for bad news.

Surprised South Africa isn't on the lowest list. Was it 16th?
