Africa Health

Although the country has a comparatively robust standard of health care, the Ghanaian government has received growing calls to raise sector spending and reform the medical system. Access has improved in recent years, but non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are pushing for more public resources to help Ghana achieve its health goals.

The looming roll-out of a massive new public health care programme in South Africa, along with several enabling reforms, looks set to provide a healthier future for the country’s citizens. However, financing the scheme to the fullest may be a challenge over the long term.

A combination of new public investment and increased private participation are expected across Egypt’s expanding health care sector as the country prepares to meet rising demand for a broader range of services driven by its growing population.

Many facets of South Africa’s domestic economy are considered two-tiered, with significant gaps between rich and poor in terms of spending power and access to essential services. One area where this divide is particularly illustrative is in the differing quality, capacity, and usage profile of the public and private health care systems.

C’est un véritable exercice d’équilibriste auquel se livre actuellement le secteur pharmaceutique marocain, qui tente à la fois d’améliorer l’accès aux médicaments tout en tenant compte des inquiétudes des fabricants et des pharmaciens face au recouvrement des coûts. La production locale joue en rôle essentiel dans la satisfaction de la demande intérieure mais le marché s’est longtemps montré préoccupé par les prix des produits de marque, entrainant de la part du gouvernement une augmentation de la distribution des médicaments génériques et une politique de baisse des prix pour l’utilisateur final.

Heath care development has been a priority for Ghana for many decades, and the government is now looking to concentrate on the poorest segments of the population and tackle infectious disease rates.
