The next decade is expected to see continued growth in healthcare investment as rising demand creates strong returns. Mediterrania Capital, Zoscales Partners and Oasis Capital also inked health deals in 2020 spanning North, East and West Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa, healthcare deals have been relatively widespread, including notable investment in Central Africa, and concentrations in the major markets, in line with overall investment trends. Exit potential in the healthcare sector is also reasonably strong, especially given the illiquidity in African markets. Bottom lineExpanding access to quality healthcare services and increasing domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity will continue to dominate Africa’s healthcare sector development agenda, and investment can be expected to follow in support of these objectives.
