There is a extreme divide between people who want to make these changes happen and those who want to continue to enjoy the luxuries they have experienced all their lives. Those millenium goals are not a new concept whatsoever. There have been many health programs, throughout the years, that have dedicated their time towards the control or eradication of malaria. Many health organizations have worked on these goals for many years, but it is difficult to have a successful program when politics get in the way. Major leaders of many underdeveloped countries have realized that poverty and health are huge influences on the country's social and economic development. If all of the population is either sick or illiterate, there is no way that country will success.
Also, poverty and health affect how well the country's resources will be utilized. Most underdeveloped countries have enormous resources that could contribute to the country's wealth and development. Unfortunately, there are many corrupt leaders that would rather allow other countries to utilize their resources, or sell them to the highest bidder. Therefore, health, poverty affects social and politics, social and political contribution also affects the health and poverty of a country.
Poverty has a great impact on the country's development. As we all know, poverty and lack of health education contributes to low birth weight, higher infant mortality rates, higher mortality rates from infectious diseases. All of which could be prevented if the society invests more of their resources in provided their population with a little more health education. This idea of health education is not new. Many organizations around the world have contributed to the education of many populations and it seems that we are on our way of global development. On the other hand, the gap between the poor and rich is still extremely wide. If the gap does not change, the poor will continue to receive low health services, and illiteracy.
