The low life expectancy in Zimbabwe can be attributed to several factors, including high rates of HIV/AIDS, poor nutrition, and limited access to healthcare. The country has been severely affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with an estimated 1.3 million people living with the virus. This has contributed to the high mortality rates and reduced life expectancy.
Other contributing factors include poverty, high levels of unemployment, and political instability. The country's healthcare system is also facing significant challenges, with limited resources and infrastructure to meet the needs of the population.
Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to improve healthcare and address the underlying causes of low life expectancy in Zimbabwe.
