Cholera, meningitis, unknown diseases, why do infectious diseases continue in Nigeria?

The main reason for the constant infectious diseases in Nigeria is that the country has a large population and is located in the tropics, and its medical and health level is relatively backward. These reasons have led to the constant infectious diseases, cholera, meningitis and unknown diseases in Nigeria in recent years.

Let's talk about demographic factors first. Over the years, Nigeria's political situation has been relatively stable and its population has grown rapidly. At present, the total population is close to 200 million, making Nigeria the most populous country on the African continent. But for Nigeria, which is relatively backward in development, a large population means that there will be many problems to be solved, especially the overall quality of the population is uneven. It is difficult for some poor people to ensure the safety of their diet in daily life, and people sometimes eat some wild animals, which brings certain security risks to Nigeria as a whole. Because some wild animals carry viruses that are harmful to the human body, viruses enter people's bodies, causing infections between people and causing frequent injuries.

Followed by geographical location. Nigeria has a savanna climate, which is hot or rainy all year round. In a year, the average temperature can reach more than 26 degrees. Such a high climate has built a natural transmission platform for various infectious germs and viruses. This has also caused that once a large-scale infectious disease occurs in Nigeria, even if the most advanced medical institutions in the world intervene, it is difficult to reverse the spread and spread of infectious diseases in a short time.

Moreover, the local medical level is relatively backward. Compared with developed countries, it is difficult for Nigeria to come up with scientific and effective treatment methods to control the disease when facing the outbreak of infectious diseases. At the same time, medical institutions in Nigeria often face problems such as insufficient beds, insufficient medicines and uneven medical and health personnel, making it difficult to treat all patients in time.
