WHO Combined Life Expectancy – 51

Lesotho is a country you might not have heard of. It is completely landlocked, meaning that it is surrounded on all borders by South Africa with no chance to expand. One of the biggest factors that affect its life expectancy is the severe spreading of HIV/AIDS among the population. This epidemic has been estimated to have reached such severity that half of the female population under forty is said to be HIV positive.
