Africa’s per capita healthcare spend insufficient to address complex challenges – Aig-Imoukhuede

Speaking during the Africa-UK summit at a session on “Health Financing and the role of business”, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Chairman of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, pointed out the fact that the per capita spend of African governments on healthcare is hardly enough to cater to the needs of the complex healthcare challenges facing the continent.

He zoned in on the private sector’s role in closing the funding gap and hailed the Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria, PSHAN’s Adopt-A-Healthcare-Facility Programme (ADHFP) as an innovative solution to increase access to affordable quality primary healthcare across the country, one which the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has already tapped into by adopting 23 primary healthcare centres, a commitment of N2.3 billion.

This will ensure that the healthcare centres have the right equipment, medical staff and drugs to provide comprehensive healthcare services in the communities for a 5 year period.
