I’m a nurse in a city hospital. Let me tell you a few things about my country. The population is 17,987,000. This was in 2013, to be precise. My country is a mix of urban and rural. Most people live in the countryside. About 57% of us don’t live in cities and 243,000 babies are born every year. The population is growing, because the standards of living are increasing: in 2013 only 300 children under five died. One of the reasons is that more than 98% of the children are vaccinated. It’s not a surprise that life expectancy is quite high: 72.3 years. So 74.2% of babies are born in hospitals or health centres. Almost everybody in my country has good drinking water. In cities, 99.6% of people have good water and in the rural areas it’s 78.7%. The government spends a lot of money on healthcare. For every person, they spend US$2,300 per year. We need more of course, but it’s not bad. The average income of somebody in our country is US$40,000 per year!


US$40,000 per year
