Thanks to the tireless efforts devoted to education and treatment of the disease, a new report says that HIV/AIDS is no longer the leading cause of death in Africa.

The research published by the fact checking organization Africa Check, which is based on numbers from the World Health Organization (WHO), shows a 24% decrease over five years in the number of deaths from AIDS/HIV.

The data reflects a continuous downward trend in AIDS/HIV mortality, with 760,000 people dying from the virus and its complications in 2015, compared to 1 million in 2010 and 1.5 million in 2005.

According to the latest WHO figures, the number of countries utilizing HIV self-testing has increased sharply in recent years. In addition to the 40 countries adopting HIV self-testing into their national policies, 48 more countries are developing similar policies—more than double the original number reported in 2015.

The leading cause of death in Africa confirmed by the WHO numbers was lower respiratory tract infections.

Another success for health workers fighting disease in Africa was the huge reported drop in malaria-related deaths over the course of the 15 years, with a 60% decrease—a number equal to about 6 million people saved from the disease.

And an extremely effective malaria vaccine is expected to save millions more lives in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi.

Maybe if they actually put in the work to brin Africa to 2017 standards they'd all be happy but instead all these tribes want it to be 1400.

Shouldn't even waste time or money helping them until they build a society.

Look up General Butt Naked. There are documentaries about the atrocities he committed . But basically, his people would get dressed up in weird outfits, usually cross-dressing or in his case go butt naked, and just walk into a town and kill everyone. Machetes were a common weapon.

HE SAID THE DAMAGE DONE BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS FINALLY STARTING TO BE REVERSED!

What..?

For decades the Catholic church expanded into Africa, went to the poorest most desperate uneducated areas and promoted their religion

On paper, seedy but fine.

However they also spread complete lies. Including very harmful ones such as that condoms not only dont work but actually CAUSE stds and aids.

This lead to a catastrophic rise in unwanted pregancy, death in childbirth and aids.

It took decades for atheists and humanists protestingfor the Catholics to stop spreading lies and while they finally have done, they have not done anything to undo the damage they have caused.

As a result the beliefs are still prevelent

Imo it is probably the most easily preventable evil of the 20th century
