Significance of Developing countries
Developing countries are nations, particularly in Afro-Asian and Latin American regions, that are in the process of industrialization and face various socio-economic challenges. These countries, such as India and Pakistan, often experience lower income levels, less advanced healthcare systems, and higher prevalence of diseases due to factors like poor sanitation. They rely on alternative medicine and face issues like antibiotic resistance and maternal health complications, marking the need for public health interventions in their ongoing efforts to enhance economic and social conditions.
