This is a good research proposal on implementation in infectious diseases in poverty that is people leaving in low income areas where poverty has driven them hence increasing the spread of infectious diseases like Tuberculosis, Cholera. And these people happen to be in areas that is affected by civil war like in the case of the North west and South west region of Cameroon. Also the environment can contribute greatly to the spread of some infectious diseases. Example can be in Douala where it is swampy and there was a Cholera outbreak in Yaounde. This can likely affect individuals in Douala. Culture too play a role in the spread of ailments like HIV/AIDS in some villages in Cameroon where they practice genital mutilation. Coming up with such research implementations can help address the issues.
