Economic factors can significantly impact the spread and control of diseases. A nation's economic status often determines its capacity to invest in healthcare infrastructure, medical research, and public health initiatives. Wealthier countries generally have more resources to allocate towards healthcare, leading to better disease prevention and treatment outcomes.
Conversely, low-income countries may struggle with inadequate healthcare systems, limited access to medications, and poor sanitation, exacerbating the spread of infectious diseases. Additionally, economic disparities within a country can result in unequal health outcomes, with marginalized communities often bearing the brunt of disease burdens.
