Introducing The African Healthcare Funders Forum: Fireside Chat 1

A consortium of funders and innovators dedicated to accelerating access to healthcare in Africa

AVPA, Ashoka, and Social Innovation Circle, sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim through their “Making More Health” and Boehringer Ingelheim Social Engagement initiatives, are joining forces to launch the African Healthcare Funders Forum, a first-of-its-kind year-long gathering of Africa’s leading funders and entrepreneurs to drive the transformation of the African healthcare sector.

The forum is open to healthcare innovators and all funders – grants, debt, or equity – actively deploying or planning to deploy capital into the African healthcare sector.

We are reserving slots for the first Fireside Chat for members of our community. Please join our CEO, Frank Aswani as he hosts Forum co-conveners Christian Bausch and Mark Cheng for a discussion on the African Healthcare Forum and the African Healthcare sector. Register Here!
