Africa has made considerable progress in improving their health outcomes, despite all the different challenges encountered by the countries. Indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality improving by the day and showing the efforts of the Governments towards a healthier population.
However, there is still a lot to do, since healthcare access in Africa is still constrained by criteria such as the patient’s income or location. The main challenges of African Hospitals keep focusing on financing and getting funds for the projects and equipment, and also on supplying those materials without damaging the budget.
In these regards, East Africa is the region taking the lead for restructuring the African Health System, with different strategies coming along in the different countries. From Rwandan ambitious Fourth National Health Plan which will close health coverage gaps in the country, to the addition of Kenyan National Health Insurance System, including several construction projects all over the region like in South Sudan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, etc.
