The first bar chart given compares the medical research funding contributed to six disparate types of diseases during 1990 in Someland, while the second one shows the number of deaths resulting from each type.
Overall, it can be seen that the funding allocation negatively correlated with their death tolls. While a relatively low mortality rate was observed in the AIDS category, its research received the largest sum of money, which illustrated a sharp contrast with TB disease.
In detail, AIDS came to the forefront regarding medical research funding with about 175 millions, surpassing Leprosy and Tropical diseases, which secured the next two ranks with the same figure at around 75 millions, by more than 50%. These figures were contrasted with the death tolls of each ailment, with these three types occupying the lowest positions in the second chart. To be more specific, Leprosy’s casualties number was modest with only about 0.1 millions, lower than that of AIDS and Tropical diseases by roughly 0.1 and 0.2 millions respectively.
On the other hand, the funding allocations for Diarrhoea, Malaria and TB were the most humble, while the three experienced the highest mortality rate. TB disease’s figure for research funding was the lowest with only 25 millions, equaling just one half of Malaria’s data and nearly one-third of Diarrhoea’s. Whereas, there were approximately 1.75 million deaths caused by TB, about fourfold the number of Diarrhoea and fivefold that of Malaria.
