"Governments have traditionally delivered and financed most health care, but in the emerging markets, public resources are insufficient," said
Guy Ellena, IFC Director for Health and Education. "In Sub-Saharan Africa, where needs are huge and public financing is scarce, private health care has become a dominant and inescapable force. IFC is committed to supporting private health care in the region, and joining forces with our partners will help us understand what works. I am sure the report will prove to be a useful resource to a wide range of stakeholders and eagerly look forward to the implementation stage of IFC’s strategy."
