(i) Why might availability/access to public hospitals affect the life chances of a young person in Nigeria who has HIV or AIDS?
(ii) Examine the four graphs below which show the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Nigeria and Ireland.
Write a brief newspaper article for your school’s newspaper which: • highlights the different effect Covid-19 has had on both countries • offers possible explanations for these differences (access to healthcare, doctors, etc.) • offers a type of aid that could possibly help Nigeria better cope with Covid-19.
Use information from the tables on the previous page and the four graphs below to help. GeoSkill
There are four graphs in this question. Take your time to examine the heading for the x- and y-axes on each. Take Graphs A and B: these show the steep incline in Covid cases and deaths in Nigeria between February 2020 and October 2021 on the x-axes. The y-axes show these figures in thousands. The same applies to Graphs C and D, which show Covid cases and deaths in Ireland.
