Mobilising Africa's Healthcare Needs

Countries across Africa have access to just 1 per cent of the world’s financial resources for health but bear 24 per cent of the global burden of disease, according to the World Health Organisation. With the Aliko Dangote Foundation forming the African Business Coalition for Health in 2017, global private sector players have increasingly turned their attention to the need to close the healthcare gap across the continent. In light of the spread of COVID-19, Invest Africa brings together a panel of experts to examine the future of Africa’s healthcare, how policy-makers must adapt and what steps investors must take in order to bridge the healthcare gap.
