Did you know that both private sector and government investment in healthcare is crucial for improving access to healthcare in Africa? According to a report by the African Development Bank Group, the lack of healthcare financing is one of the main challenges facing Africa's healthcare sector. By investing in healthcare infrastructure, governments can reduce the cost of healthcare and make it more accessible to those in need. This, in turn, can lead to improved health outcomes and a reduction in poverty, empowering individuals to be productive members of society. At Africa Health Business , we facilitate exclusive high-level in-person roundtables, business-to-business matchmaking sessions, field visits, and Africa-wide conferences, connecting thought leaders from organizations within the public and private sectors in the African healthcare space towards this end. Join us in driving positive change for healthcare in Africa. Contact us via bd@africahb.com to learn more on how we can collaborate for a healthier Africa.
