Zanglais is a rural area in the commune of Saint-Louis-du-Sud in the Sud department of Haiti. It has a population of approximately 7,860. There are approximately 4,103 males and 3,757 females. The makeup of the population comprises 4,226 adults 18 years and older and the remainder 17 years and younger which is approximately 3,634. [1]

Zanglais has no public schools or a community clinic. There is a substantial amount of unschooled children and the majority of the population are in need of some sort of medical attention. Many untreated infections have led to complications and even death. The children in the town seem desolate and hopeless. This can all be prevented if a public school and a community health center is established in the community, however funds are scarce and the locals cannot afford such clinic.

Saint-Louis-du-Sud Commune in Sud, Haiti

Saint-Louis-du-Sud is a commune in the Aquin Arrondissement, in the Sud department of Haiti. It has 59,042 inhabitants.

Ecuador contains three distinct climatic regions: Tropical, Highland or Sierra, and Amazon rain forest. The health conditions of this country vary according to these regions. In the sierras, in cities such as Quito or Cuenca where most Ecuadorians live, health conditions most commonly associated with the tropics do not exist. For example, the types of mosquitoes which carry malaria and dengue fever cannot live at altitudes above 2300 meters as is the case in virtually all of the sierras. While there does not seem to be general agreement in the medical community about the prevalence of altitude-related conditions, some visitors to the highlands may experience symptoms. The lower atmospheric pressure of the sierras affects some individuals profoundly with difficulty in breathing, nausea and dizziness but these conditions are typically not of long duration and require a period of reduced activity and conservative eating and drinking for acclimatization. Ecuadorians living most of their lives in the sierras commonly require a brief period of re-adjustment after living at sea level for prolonged periods of time. In the low-lying coastal regions and in the Amazonian region, the predictable diseases of those climates exist. Malaria, for example, is according to UN sources no longer epidemic in Ecuador. Nor is Dengue Fever. According to WHO data on confirmed cases of malaria, Ecuador had 8464 cases per 100,000 population in 2007 and 544 cases in 2012. Changes in living conditions and health care appear to have had a significant effect on this condition. The potential for these diseases does exist but mostly in isolated, economically-depressed areas of the Amazon and seacoast. Many do not realize that dengue-infected mosquitoes exist in the southeastern US but do not infect inhabitants on a widespread basis. Life expectancy is approximately that of the US.
