‘In Addis at the launch of the new Africa
Business Coalition for Health championed through a partnership of the
United Nations Economic Commission for Africa [UNECA] and the Aliko
Dangote Foundation under the chairmanship of Mr Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede.
The
ECA has estimated a $66 billion per annum financing gap for healthcare
in Africa. The public sector alone cannot cover this. There is a need
for smart partnerships with the private sector and for their investments
in pharmaceuticals, logistics, supply chain management, capacity
support, technology, innovation, and other areas. The Africa Business
coalition encourages the private sector to invest, to partner and be a
more effective part of the solution to the continent’s health
challenges.
With Didier Drogba, Véra Songwe, Aig Imoukhuede,
Halima Dangote, Zouera Youssoufou, Michel Sidibe, Joseph Muchera , Dere
Awosika among others’.
