摘要：Investment opportunities in health business in Africa are increasingly visible. In 2008, the international Finance Corporation (IFC) published results of data on health business collected by McKinsey and Company over a six month period, in a report titled The Business of Health in Africa: Partnering with the Private Sector to Improve People’s Lives. In this report, the IFC identified major opportunities in health business in Africa in five domains. The first domain of business opportunity is the health services organizations such as hospitals, health centers, and medical clinics. The second domain is the life science companies such as pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing. The third domain is the health risk pooling companies that provide health insurance plans. The fourth domain is the sales and distribution companies such as pharmacies and medical retail outlets, and the fifth domain is education institutions such as schools of nursing, medicine, and allied health professionals.
