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.
