[[Diseases of poverty]] directly correlate with a country's [[economy|economic performance]] and [[wealth distribution]]: Half of Kenyans live below the poverty level. Preventable diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, pneumonia, diarrhoea and malnutrition are the biggest burden, major child-killers, and responsible for much morbidity; weak policies, corruption, inadequate health workers, weak management and poor leadership in the public health sector are largely to blame. According to 2009 estimates, [[List of countries by HIV/AIDS adult prevalence rate|HIV/AIDS prevalence]] is about 6.3% of the adult population.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2155rank.html?countryName=Kenya&countryCode=ke&regionCode=afr&rank=11#ke CIA World Factbook: HIV/AIDS – Adult Prevalence Rate Rankings].
