Supplementary notes

* Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) combines in one measure the time lived with disability and the time lost due to premature mortality. One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of ‘healthy’ life and the burden of disease as a measurement of the gap between current health status and an ideal situation where everyone lives into old age free of disease and disability.
** However some estimates suggest 49 million.
*** No reliable data are available on "Typhoid and paratyphoid fever" and "Buruli ulcer".
