There are also very high rates of infant and perinatal mortality. Life expectancy is age 52 compared with a world average of 68. The country suffers in particular from high rates of HIV /Aids, Malaria, TB, Diarrhoea and other water borne diseases.HIV prevalance is 65/1000 adults compared to 8/1000 globally.
