Abstract
Many of the diseases and health conditions that account for a large part of the disease burden in low– and middle–income countries are far less common in high–income countries. These burdens are primarily associated with infectious diseases, reproductive health, and childhood illnesses. Just eight diseases and conditions account for 29 percent of all deaths in low– and middle–income countries: tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases, vaccine–preventable diseases of childhood, malaria, respiratory infections, maternal conditions, and neonatal deaths.
