Conclusion

People in Sudan (and in even larger numbers

in poor areas of the returnees in the South), die from diseases that are

largely treatable and preventable with often

simple medications and resources that are

almost taken for granted in Australia

Note: Medication PricingThe cost of the medications is real. The cost quoted is from the Federal Government PBS or S100 scheme. These medications is what the Australian government pays for. We are the lucky country not to have to pay for this ourselves.
