What conditions in poor countries make is hard stop the spread of disease?

In poor countries it can be very difficult to stop the spread of disease due to limited resources and access to healthcare. Poverty often causes poor nutrition, making people more vulnerable to infection and disease. Poor living conditions, such as overcrowding and lack of access to clean water, also add to the risk of disease spread. Inadequate sanitation, sanitation systems and waste disposal can also contribute to the spread of disease. As poor countries lack financial resources to build and maintain strong healthcare systems, access to healthcare is often limited and facilities lack the resources to diagnose and treat diseases quickly. As a result, diseases can spread quickly and easily before containment measures can be put in place. Additionally, cultural beliefs and practices can affect healthcare choices and hamper efforts to stop the spread of disease. This includes the mistrust of western medicine, which leads to people seeking alternative treatments and avoiding traditional healthcare providers.
