    The document discusses the global impacts of diseases such as Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. It notes that globalization has increased the spread of infectious diseases through modern transportation. The economic costs of diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria are already significant, requiring development of vaccines and medicines as well as treatment of patients. Diseases can also negatively impact societies through reduced life expectancy and quality of life. On a political level, diseases may destabilize countries and impact national security through travel restrictions and frictions between developed and developing nations.
