Africa is home to a substantial proportion of all global chronic diseases, particularly in countries ravaged by civil war and natural disasters. Those countries experience rapid increase in death rates from cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes. Rising morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases co-exist with an even greater burden of infectious disease. Many African health systems are underfunded and under-resourced, while many others barely exist. They all struggle to cope with the cumulative burden of chronic diseases; many people, both adult and children suffer with diabetes without the simple management tools such as glucose-meters and insulin regiment.

Mothers and infants face an astonishing rate of death due to lack of accessibility to regular and emergency obstetric care, pregnancy complication such as hemorrhage, gestational diabetes, eclampsia, and infection. Lack of Accessibility and affordability of attention during the childbearing period leads to fetal mortality, stillborn, low-birth weight and premature births.
The overall disease burden associated with surgical conditions in East Africa particularly the war ravaged country like Somalia and South Sudan, is astonishingly high. Surgical care is unavailable to many communities, especially to those who live far away from the cities and unable to travel to the nearest hospital. Those patients who do reach a health facility often arrive at a relatively advanced state of disease when the curative window may have passed.

Given that public health problems in the East-Africa are mainly infectious diseases due to inadequate disease management and control, poor sanitation and lack of sanitary living conditions. There is an urgent need for immediate and effective interventions to scale up, contain and control some of the health problems and to introduce new initiatives, policies and guidance for better water supply and waste management and control systems in urban and rural areas.
