John Dineen: A Healthier Africa is Emerging

John Dineen GE
August 05, 2014
Delivering high-quality healthcare in Africa is one of the most pressing challenges facing the continent today. Across many parts of Africa, access to appropriate healthcare facilities (hospitals and clinics) and qualified healthcare expertise (doctors, nurses and skilled healthcare workers) is limited.

In Deloitte’s recently released Positioning for Prosperity report, aged care, retirement living and preventative health and wellness were all highlighted as having huge potential to lift Australia’s growth trajectory over the next 20 years.
Yet while the collision between ageing and healthcare promises enormous opportunity, the question is how we’re going to pay for our ageing population.
