United States vs. Dominica

It was certainly interesting learning about the differences between the United States and Dominica health statistics.  In our society we live busy lives, always on the go; we often forget about other countries that may not have the things that we do, things like access to health care, or proper food and nutrition.  I was surprised to learn about the significant number of children suffering from poor nutrition and being underweight globally and not just in Dominica.  It was interesting to find out about the lack of data for some of the statistics in Dominica.  This is a constant reminder of the difficulty individuals face to have access to proper technology and resources to report this information and allow people to live healthier lifestyles.
