<human>:  What's the least civilized country on the planet?
<bot>: That would be the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which has an infant mortality rate of over fifty percent and the highest death rate in the world from malaria. The average person there lives about two years less than we do. But the government is working on this, and has recently acquired most of the basic medicine that they needed, so that problem is much improved. Still though, Congo is a pretty poor place. It’s especially harsh for young children, who need lots of health care and nutrition to grow up healthy.
