We live in a much better life than we used to. However, health is still a problem all over the world. Sometimes it seems quite serious.
People need more health care, especially in developing countries. Look at the following table made by World Health Organization (WHO).
Total population
Share(份額)of the health care
Developed Countries
20%
90%
Developing countries
80%
10
The table shows that developed countries have 20 per cent of the world's population but take 90 per cent of the health care. For example, a Japanese spends five hundred dollars on health care every year. However, a person in a poor country spends only three dollars a year!
There is another health problem in developing countries. Fifty years ago, people lived a life of about forty-six years on average(平均).Now most people in the world live twenty years longer than before. People in the poorest countries, however, live a much shorter life than people in developed countries. There are thousands of patients in poor countries; most of them are children. In 2002, almost 57,000,000 people died of different kinds of diseases. And nearly 20 per cent were children under five.
It's time for us to do something to help these children!
