Background INformation

The International Finance Corporation estimates that $30 billion in new investment will be needed over the next decade to meet sub-Saharan Africa’s healthcare demand. The countries participating in this business briefing represent some of the region’s most dynamic market opportunities.

Kenya: To help meet the rapid growth of Kenya’s healthcare sector, the Kenyan government is investing in regulatory improvements and increasing partnership with the private sector. Private hospitals have implemented large expansion projects and Kenya has been ranked as one of sub-Saharan Africa’s fastest growing markets for medical devices.

South Africa: The South African government is investing in public hospitals and building new clinics as part of its campaigns to introduce digital health technologies and to develop national health insurance. Among other opportunities  under South Africa’s National Digital Health Strategy, the government and international stakeholders will allocate funds for digital health sector priorities including the development of electronic health records, expanded availability of technology for community-based intervention programs, and development of digital health knowledge workers to support digital health and economic development.
