Emerging Markets Innovative Finance Social Systemic Change

Africa’s healthcare sector is expanding rapidly, fueled by rising rates of chronic disease and a growing middle class. Hospital infrastructure is growing at ~5–8% CAGR, while smart, tech-driven facilities are surging at ~16–28% CAGR. Private and blended finance can deliver scalable, high-impact solutions with strong returns. This session will focus on actionable strategies, proven approaches, and opportunities to scale solutions that effectively address Africa’s healthcare needs.


Framing this topic

This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.

Africa’s healthcare system is ready for scalable solutions through private-sector financing. Rising chronic disease and a growing middle class are driving long-term demand for quality care, while governments prioritise locally led, sustainable systems. With nearly 60% of care delivered privately and growing adoption of technology, there’s strong potential to expand access. This session brings together investors, policymakers, and private providers to explore proven models, share strategies, and identify scalable, high-impact opportunities that deliver both financial returns and lasting social impact.
