Neglected tropical diseases

Article Evaluation: This article does have reliable citations and it is written from a neutral standpoint. The article needs to be rearranged and the subsection headers need to be changed. The article needs to be edited for flow, however the information given in the article is reliable. Article is very well cited, however almost all of the citations come from the WHO. There are some claims in the lead that need to be cited as well.

Health in Peru

Article Evaluation: This article is extremely underdeveloped. It only has 4 sources and they are all from more than 5 years ago. The article only has 3 sections, all of which are fairly limited. The article overall has a very narrow perspective on health in Peru and does not address any systematic problems that impact healthcare. The article has very few citations and does not seem to be very reliable. There are large claims made with no citations.

Tropical diseases

Article Evaluation: This article has a substantial number of citations, but it still seems very underdeveloped. It briefly talks about many tropical diseases but it does not go into detail on any of them. Some of the information is not relevant to this article and many things lack citations. This article is interesting because it relates tropical diseases back to climate change, which is very relevant to my org.
