Africa is a continent brimming with immense potential, home to a rapidly growing population of over 1.4 billion people. Yet, many Africans still lack access to essential healthcare, financial services, and sustainable infrastructure. This is where impact investing comes into play, and HealthCap Africa is leading the charge.
