"19 percent of employees in the public sector earns $ 25 per month. Only 2.5 percent earn above $ 100 monthly.

More than 87 percent of the primary school age population was out of school in 1994 (compared to 80 percent in 1989). Physician/Population ratio stands at 1 to 38,365 with one nurse for every 14,860 persons. Hospital bed per population ratio stands at 1 to 4,797."
