Developing Nations in Africa - Rwanda

The Central African country of Rwanda lies east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and also borders the countries of Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda. The countries' total area is 26,338 square kilometres and is landlocked, which means it does not border the sea. In 1959, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus, overthrew the ruling Tutsi king.

The fact that the infant-mortality rates are so high and that so many infectious diseases inhabit the country proves that Rwanda's health system is severely underdeveloped. Another problem is the rapidly growing population, which needs to be addressed desperately.
