The African Development Bank (AfDB) Group is implementing a $6 billion investment plan to transform Africa’s healthcare landscape and strengthen health systems across the continent.
The initiative consists of two major programmes: a $3 billion programme focused on developing quality health infrastructure, and another $3 billion programme dedicated to building local pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity in Africa.
Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, President of the AfDB, announced the creation of the African Pharmaceutical Technology Foundation while presenting his 10-year scorecard at the ongoing 2025 Annual Meetings of the Bank in Abidjan.
