This document focuses on the "Disease" and "health" are words frequently used in private conversations, in national and international political speeches, in sociological, anthropological and demographical meetings, where health themes are discussed. All the people who use the terms "disease" and "health" take as a starting point the idea that their definitions, if such definitions exist or have any meaning at all are the same for the listener as for the speaker. This is particularly so in the case of Africa, which is often regarded and discussed as though it were a homogeneous whole whereas the continent is, in fact diversified by linguistic and cultural differences. In differing areas different diseases dominate the scene and attitudes to these diseases themselves vary.
