An international partnership between Informa Markets and the African Business Coalition for Health (ABCHealth) to explore the dynamics of private sector health investments and its impact in Africa, whilst catalyzing partnerships and impact investments that will improve Africa’s health outcomes. The aim of this partnership is to bring together businesses, governments, development institutions and investors to share insights that would significantly transform the continent’s healthcare space across the African Health markets
Critical stakeholders in Africa’s health space have shifted focus to adopting a holistic approach to solving the continent’s healthcare challenges and a key action over the last few years is the active mobilization of corporates, businesses and philanthropists to work together with a specific focus on health as a sustainable and profitable investment at continental, regional, national and subnational levels.
This shift has resulted in Africa increasingly becoming a priority market for international investors eager to capitalize on the opportunities in the healthcare sector occasioned by the rising demand for health services across the continent. While challenges remain, this rise in investor sentiment is being driven by the rapid expansion of Africa’s middle class, even faster population growth, and the continent’s stubbornly high disease burden – especially in non-communicable diseases.
