Fio Health
Dr Gert Swart

Health is a fundamental human right and access to quality healthcare is a basic human right. Investing in quality health solutions ensures that future generations will have access to healthcare and healthcare solutions that meet the needs of people, especially the huge informal and rural markets in Africa, which have no, or very little access to quality healthcare.
Prevention is better than cure and providing access to quality health solutions enables us to prevent diseases before they occur. This not only saves lives but also reduces the economic burden on individuals, families, and society as a whole.
Quality health solutions offer an improved quality of life to millions of people in Africa and will enable individuals to live longer, healthier lives. This not only improves their quality of life but also helps them to contribute more to society and the local economies they work and live in. A healthy population is more productive and quality health solutions will ensure that future generations will be healthier and more productive, leading to economic growth and development.
Investing in quality health solutions allows us to address emerging health challenges such as pandemics, drug-resistant infections, and chronic diseases. This is particularly important given the global nature of these challenges and is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic investment in the future of society. By ensuring that individuals have access to quality healthcare, we can improve their quality of life, increase productivity, and address emerging health challenges.
Investment in quality healthcare solutions is crucial for Africa and an important part of Fio Capital's investment strategy in the industries we chose to focus on.
There are a host of logical reasons why investment in affordable healthcare is so important, however, the mere fact that less than half of Africa’s citizens (52%) – some 615 million people – have access to the healthcare they need, the continent’s quality of health services is generally poor and the family planning needs of half the continent’s women and girls are unmet.
1. Healthier populations: Access to quality healthcare solutions will improve the health of the population in Africa, leading to longer and more productive lives. This, in turn, can contribute to economic growth and development.
2. Reducing disease burden: Africa is disproportionately affected by diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Investment in healthcare solutions will reduce the burden of these diseases and other health conditions, leading to a healthier population.
3. Enhancing healthcare infrastructure: Investment in healthcare solutions can lead to the development of better healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. This will improve access to healthcare services and increase the quality of care provided.
4. Job creation: Investment in healthcare solutions can create job opportunities in the healthcare sector, which will help to reduce unemployment and poverty.
5. Attracting investment: A strong healthcare system will also attract investment from both domestic and international sources. This will lead to further economic growth and development.
