Try the World Health Organization website. i had to do a similar project for my medical coding class and that gave me all the info i needed.

In Zambia and South Africa there are many cases of HIV, Malaria, Heptatis, and many other terrible diseases and infections. Those are the ones with the most variety and need of help!In Costa Rica there are many tropical infections, and other diseases. Just type in google: Costa Rica common diseases.Try also Myanmar, Chile, and Pakistan
