Abstract

The spread of diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV has largely stalled over the past decade in under-resourced and poorly-educated regions. In contrast, these diseases are greatly suppressed in urban areas with access to adequate education and income. This indicates that unequal surveillance is a major obstacle on the way to eradicating the above diseases. This is further substantiated by the relevant data in this paper, which reviews the most recent empirical evidence of a large number of health indicators (including knowledge, practice, recruitment and detection), prevention and treatment), gender, age, educational attainment, economic status, and location for subgroups of 186 countries.
