An overview of infrastructure gaps, growth drivers, and investment opportunities in Africa’s top 10 economies
Africa’s healthcare systems are facing unprecedented pressure. Rapid population growth, accelerated urbanization, shifting disease burdens, and increasing patient expectations are driving demand for more resilient, accessible, and modern healthcare infrastructure.
