Kala azar—or visceral leishmaniasis—is a treatable but largely neglected disease. Southern Sudan is currently facing a massive kala azar epidemic. This is a region where three-quarters of the population has no access to basic medical care, and the health system is unable to deal with an emergency on this scale.
Guess what?This reminded me of the film that I watched few years ago,”The Invisibles”.All because of the people in poor countries cannot afford to pay for the medicine,no company is willing to invest in production of those medicine.
Sigh.Business world huh?
