Global Health Issues

Global health issues related to tropical diseases are often linked to geography, as these diseases thrive in warm, humid climates. Regions near the equator, where conditions favor the spread of pathogens and vectors like mosquitoes, see higher rates of infections such as malaria and dengue. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as poorer communities may lack access to healthcare and sanitation, making them more vulnerable. Addressing these issues requires international cooperation, improved healthcare infrastructure, and targeted prevention strategies to reduce the burden of tropical diseases on affected populations.
