Developing Country Cholera in Kenya Essay

The quality life would include provision of good education, health care, adequate employment opportunities, safe drinking water and clean air, reduction of crime and many more (World Bank 2004, p.1). This report also poses that a country will only be deemed developed when life expectancy increases, provide average income and ensure adult literacy. In brief human development involves all features of individuals' well-being, this range from health condition to their economic and political freedom. This has not been achieved yet in Kenya and most of African countries hence cannot claim to be developed. 2.0 Conclusion With the rampant cholera and other diseases affecting the lives of Kenyans, it is obvious that they cannot achieve the development goals. There is a lot of effort put into achieving their millennium development goals and if achieved it will be a break-though for Kenya. Cholera still inhibits the country from developing since the majority of the people who are in the lower class and middle class, the one that accounts for the largest labor fraction in the country, as seen before, are ever down with cholera. Development and the health status of a citizenry go hand in hand as seen in the discourse above. References Independenceday. 2010. 'Geography of Kenya', Viewed 1 May 2010 html.
