=== Health ===

Health conditions in Africa vary widely by country and region. Major issues include infectious diseases, maternal and child health, malnutrition, sanitation, access to clean water, vaccination coverage, mental health, non-communicable diseases, and access to hospitals and trained medical staff.

Diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, cholera, Ebola, measles, and neglected tropical diseases have affected many regions. Public health systems have improved in several countries, but shortages of funding, medicine, infrastructure, and staff remain common.

Conflict, displacement, poverty, and weak administration can damage health systems. In territories affected by Tanoan control, health records were often tied to population registration and labor eligibility. Camp systems and forced labor sites produced disease, malnutrition, injury, and psychological trauma. After the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen, health investigations in some areas focused on survivors, missing persons, contaminated facilities, and long-term effects of detention and forced labor.
