3. THE PROBLEM
The problem I am facing about my countries is terrible medical care.
This is a problem because the life expectancy of my countries is 57
years old, the infant mortality per 100,000 is 69.2, the birth rate per
100,00 is 32,and there are only 9 doctors per 100,000.
A minor problem
is education, we
only have a
literacy rate of
61.1%.

4. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• 1.Send educated Sudanese people to medical school in the U.S, and
when they are finished they come back to Sudan.
• 2.Make a deal with Ethiopia where Sudan & South Sudan sell some of
their oil for money, give the money to Ethiopia to build schools, and in
return Ethiopia gives us 20 of their finest doctors and 1 medical school.
• 3.Do nothing and hope there are more doctors in Sudan and South
Sudan

5. THE CONTRACT

6. Solution # 1 2 3
Pros The doctor can Ethiopia gets We don’t have
teach others schools and to do anything
Sudan gets
doctors
Cons May not have None May not work
enough money
to send the
people

7. FINAL SOLUTION
The final solution to my problem is to use solution 1 & 2. I choose #1
because each doctor can teach others to become doctors. I choose
solution #2 because it helps Ethiopia with their education problem and
it helps us with our medical problems so everyone wins.
