STAKEHOLDER SPEAK  ON AFRICA HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY FUND

 

The National Coordinator of the Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain PVAC, Dr. Abdu Mukhtar, says the proposed Africa Health Sovereignty Fund will strengthen investment in healthcare manufacturing and expand access to financing across Africa.

 

 

At a Stakeholder roundtable in Abuja, Dr. Mukhtar says the initiative, championed by the European Union, Africa CDC and the United Nations Capital Development Fund aims to establish a 200-million-US dollar continental healthcare investment fund.

 

He notes that PVAC will in addition establish a healthcare fund and sees strong opportunities to collaborate with the continental initiative to unlock greater investment opportunities for Nigerian and African healthcare manufacturers.
