The percentage of deaths due to Tuberculosis in Africa, a third world country, compared to that of America, a first world country, are exceptionally high, indicating the difficulty of controlling the disease Tuberculosis in a third world country considering their population have similarities.
Aim: To prove that dealing with Tuberculosis in a third world country is considerably harder compared to that in a first world country.
Hypothesis: Third world countries have neither the resources nor the funds to deal with Tuberculosis, and therefore this is the reason for the exceptionally high death rate, considering that its population is similar to that of a common first world country.
Furthermore this topic is very relevant to the general world as third world countries struggle to a much further extent to that of first world countries in common

One of the major health problems in these countries is that there is a lack of access to health care systems, meaning that people with Tuberculosis are unable to get medication, and therefore the disease becomes fatal and many end up dying. Where as in first world countries , there is much greater accessibility to health care systems , meaning that the amount of people dying due to Tuberculosis will be much less than that of a third world country.
The reason for the lack of accessibility of health care systems in third world countries is due to the fact that these countries are still developing and have not yet fully developed their health care systems and their current medical care systems are not adequate enough to fulfil the medical needs of their citizens.
Despite all of the developments and promises of modern medicine, most of the world is still struggling to get the basics of medical care: simple diagnostic tests, affordable medicines, and adequate supply distribution is still a problem. (Robert Cooke, February
