"The reported incidence of indigenous cholera in sub-Saharan Africa in 2005 ... was 95 times higher than the reported incidence in Asia ... and 16,600 times higher than the reported incidence in Latin America .... In that same year, the cholera case fatality rate in sub-Saharan Africa (1.8%) was 3 times higher than that in Asia (0.6%); no cholera deaths were reported in Latin America. The persistence or control of cholera in Africa will be a key indicator of global efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals and of recent commitments by leaders of the G-8 countries to increase development aid to the region."

Psychiatry tends to be a neglected area in the developing world, perhaps because of the priority of ensuring physical survival. Whatever the causes, this study shows that in the "happiest country in the world" depression is still a significant problem, at least in the elderly (over 65). Of special note, "there was a mean delay of 5 years from onset of depression to receipt of first treatment." That probably surprises no one, but it certainly shows a glaring gap that needs addressing.
