  4. Economics • 3 out of the 4 medical schools were destroyed. The earthquake killed the entire second year class at the largest nursing school • Shifting supply inward for years in the future

  5. Economics • Malaria rates down from 5% to 1% from seven years ago • Children vaccination campaign reaches 90% of children under 9. • Helps to lower the demand and shift it inward for medical care.

  6. Economics • Although it seems the two shifts combined counteract each other the loss of supply seems to bear a much greater cost than the vaccinations can make up for.
