Abstract
This paper reports on a study which explores the role of Public Private Partnerships PPPs as viable technological vehicles and investment financing mechanisms for building a competitive African health sector. Interlinked with a vibrant pharmaceutical industry, and capable of supplying drugs, vaccines and health products, it would assure health inclusion and social security. Africa has more than 50% of all health expenses paid out of pocket; more than 80% of the global burden of non-communicable diseases; more than 15% of the world’s population; 47% of the global burden of communicable diseases; yet it has less that 2% of global health expenditure.
