Healthcare and Wellness Committee
Making Health Products in Africa
The Healthcare & Wellness Committee of Make in Africa works to build African capacity to make medicines, vaccines, diagnostics and medical devices. Its members are clinicians, health-tech innovators and public-health leaders who know the continent’s varied healthcare needs. Africa still imports most of what its health systems use. The committee presses for regional pharmaceutical manufacturing, health-tech solutions and better infrastructure, and asks partners for technology and licence sharing.
