Which of the following is true about neglected tropical diseases? Group of answer choices Though they impact billions of people, most of these diseases are very expensive and difficult to treat Older adults are most vulnerable to these diseases, while children are relatively unaffected by them given their strong immune systems. These diseases affect relatively small populations, but have very high mortality rates They impact billions of people and are relatively easy to treat given sufficient funding and an efficient implementation of that funding

The World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking a candidate for one of their Global Health programs in East Africa. You have been hired as a paid intern and you are required to investigate the outbreak of infectious diseases in a district in Kenya and prepare a report for your manager.

The war has been devastating for most of the children. Some of the children are plagued with sickness with no medication and only one parent. A large number of men died in the war and conditions have been rough for the families within the community. Drinking water and food has been a problem, as the only source of drinking water is a stream where the community bathes and washes their clothes. WHO wants to help this community and you are sent to do an assessment. In your report, address the following. What mitigation strategies do you…
