QUOTE FROM THE CEO OF BGil HEALTH

"For low and middle income African countries to make positive strides at reducing health care costs, disease prevention rather than treatment must be the target objective. The urgent need for health authorities in Africa to raise awareness that people are better off staying healthy rather than relying on far fetched sophisticated medical technology to rescue them from a lifetime of unhealthy living can hardly be overemphasized".
S. A.Chiambah, RPh.

Why Africa?

The timing for private sector investment in Africa has never been better, with so many Sub-Saharan African countries recording an unbroken pattern of economic growth in the past several years. The health sector in Africa faces some real challenges, some of which are: Poor infrastructure, an acute shortage of healthcare workers and substandard quality. These challenges coupled with lack of public sector spending on health have ironically set the stage and created favorable conditions for a robust private sector involvement in healthcare.

Points to note

1.

Africa is rich in opportunities, it is home to seven out of ten of the world's fastest growing economies and the continent's economy is accelerating faster than any other.

2.

While the South African, Nigerian and Kenyan markets provide a wider selection of investments, it is Africa's smallest countries that are posting bigger gains.

3.

With 70 % of its population under 35, Africa will enjoy an extraordinary demographic dividend as their energy and talents drive economic growth and development.

4.

Africa presently has a middle class that is almost as big as the entire populations of Russia and Brazil, and the continent still has the fastest growing population in the world.

5.

With governments across Africa working to improve the business climate, there has never been a better time to invest. By investing the right way, companies will not only grow their own balance sheets but create jobs, support local businesses and strengthen local communities across the continent.

6.

Africa has age on its side, with 200 million people between the ages of 15 and 24 and many more of them educated than past generations of young adults. Africa is expected to have the largest global workforce by 2040 and Africa's young adult population will be a boon for consumer goods and services companies as they target an underserved population.

Key Barriers Facing Investors in the Health Sector

Sanctity of contracts including permits and licenses.
Fragmented nature of the sector
Lack of transparency
Ethical concerns – Uneven ethical standards
Limited business and financial management capacity
Access to and visibility of local credible local suppliers and partners.

Our Companies

The African continent has 14% of the world's population but produces only 3% of the world's medicines. While the overall pharmaceutical market in sub-Saharan Africa is worth $ 3.8 billion (USD) annually, the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector in Africa contributes only 25-30 per cent of the continent's needs. The production of life-saving drugs is furthermore concentrated in very few African countries: 70% of pharmaceutical manufacturing takes place in South Africa and an additional 20% in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. Apart from Morocco, more than 85% of drugs sold in Africa are imported. Today no African country, whatever its size and level of economic development, is entirely self-sufficient in pharmaceuticals. This situation has created a product gap that has been filled by the counterfeit drug industry.

Counterfeit and adulterated pharmaceuticals pose a considerable threat to human health and well-being worldwide. Fake drugs often have little therapeutic value, can seriously exacerbate the illness of patients by giving them a false sense of security and can sometimes even adversely affect the user's health. Their sub-therapeutic nature also contributes to the increasing problem of drug resistance, especially to chronic infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV. The World Health Organization estimates that fake drugs account for up to 50% of drug sales in Sub-Saharan Africa but only 1% in the developed world.

At BGiL Pharma we believe that the lack of access to basic generic medicines is a good reason for Sub-Saharan African nations to produce local medicines and to be less dependent from other countries. Local production can facilitate access to medicines for those in need but while the product gap still exists BGiL Pharma is committed to bringing safe, effective, high quality and affordable pharmaceuticals and prescription medicines to patients in Africa.

Mission & Vision

At BGiL Pharma we work to help people and health care institutions in Africa realize their goal of maintaining and restoring good health as well as improving quality of life. We do this by providing a steady supply of top quality and affordable pharmaceuticals.

Good health is wealth. Besides the fact that there's an intrinsic value of health that is a human right, the economic case for investing in healthcare is robust. Experts agree that improved healthcare in Africa is essential for sustainable development. Healthier citizens are more productive, earn more, consume more, work longer, all of which have a positive impact on the Gross Domestic Product of a country. Better health also reduces the financial cost of healthcare for the family, the community, the private sector and the government.

According to consultancy firm – McKinsey, by 2016 the market for health care in Sub-Saharan Africa will be worth $35 billion, however a skills shortage is constraining it since the continent is reckoned to host a quarter of the world's disease burden but only has 3% of its medical workforce. The World Bank reckons an additional 90,000 doctors and 500,000 nurses will be needed in the next few years. The private sector has a positive role to play within the broader context of Sub-Saharan African countries health care systems by expanding access and improving quality and efficiency.

Mission & Vision

It is our mission to promote wellness, relieve suffering and to restore the health of those we serve with a commitment to excellence in everything that we do. Our goal is to offer quality care and programs that set community standards, exceed patients' expectations and are provided swiftly, with compassion and competence.

There is a huge need to improve medical laboratory services in Africa to avoid compromising patient care. Very often medical personnel are compelled to make clinical decisions on the basis of a very limited number of diagnostic tests. Rapid and accurate diagnostic testing should be available at the first consultation to enable clinicians to accurately diagnose and to avoid wasting limited resources and increasing ill health associated with initial misdiagnosis. As treatment costs for common disease conditions increase in Sub-Saharan Africa, the need to shift from presumptive and empirical management towards achievement of specific diagnosis can hardly be overemphasized.

Mission & Vision

To be the premier provider of medical laboratory services in the communities we serve. To contribute to excellent patient care by providing comprehensive, high quality laboratory testing.

Our Partners

BGiL Health is relentless in forging solid partnerships with global leaders in clinical services and health care products. Quite often when Western investors arrive in Africa for the very first time, they are quick to notice that their prior experience is of very limited use. As a result the expectation of many has been cut short. Some investors see the continent's uncertainty as opportunity. It is fair to say that although unreliable infrastructure plagues conventional kinds of companies, it opens the door to novel and innovative business models. Building a wide array of relationships with capable local players is the key and BGiL Health is conversant with the convoluted processes that obtain in most African countries. BGiL Health welcomes the opportunity for partnerships with entities vying to get a foothold in terrain unknown to many outsiders.
