People here are absolutely neutral about that, though I've heard it's offensive, people take it as a sort of, fancy vocabulary

It's there in the urban areas, but it's always crowded. In rural areas it's crowded to a whole other level. There has been a lot of medical aid from developed countries with things like pills and mosquito nets, vaccines, some healthcare like AIDS consultation,fistula treatment,TB treatment and most child vaccination is free... Advanced healthcare like neurosurgery is unavailable, though we're getting there.. Generally if you don't have health insurance you're as good as dead,though cash patients get treated faster. And yes, many doctors would gladly take some money for you to jump the line.

I generally think life is hard because you have to work for what you want no matter what country you live in, but honestly in third world countries there are more poor people than rich people. Poor here goes to another extreme; there are so many people who live below $5 a day. People here have their own set of income tiers, for instance, if you earn$500 a month, you're like, really lucky. Many people are happy but I think that's because 99% are religious. I don't live in a war country but I can say things are way worse there...
