Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The
Status and Future of African Healthcare" report to their
offering.
This report profiles the current status of African healthcare
and from key analytics of plenary reports elsewhere formulates some
future trends in healthcare for the African continent. The
traditional vertical focus to tackling healthcare challenges it is
argued, should be transformed into a lateral one whereby the aim is
to fortify healthcare delivery by a broad and socio-economic
approach.
Decades of economic austerity from political conflict,
corruption and poor fiscal management have impacted heavily on
healthcare outcomes in Africa but in recent years commensurate with
positive macroeconomic developments, such as job creation growing
at a rate of 3.8% between 2000 and 2015 amidst one of the youngest
employment populations worldwide, there have been significant
improvements in healthcare outcomes.
This report delineates the critical barriers and drivers for
healthcare improvements in Africa and will augment the knowledge
base of healthcare policy groups and stakeholders who have
executive decision making authority in foreign aid, NPO sectors of
the relevant healthcare departments.
This report identifies the key challenges of the very current
African healthcare system and outlines the critical changes that
are necessary if there are to be significant gains in African
healthcare outcomes in the future. In essence it is a must buy for
any heath policy professional assigned to bettering health in
Africa.
