Abstract

[This chapter begins with general remarks about the health and health status of North Africa followed by a discussion of the conditions in each individual country often lumped together as the Maghreb and the Middle East. As a result, some individual observations may be a contrast to, or overlap at times with, the general remarks made about the conditions of the region, particularly when there is a need to sharpen what is known about the Arab states facing the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike Sub-Saharan Africa, much less is known about the state of health and health care in North Africa.]
