We are pleased to announce that Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, President: Satoshi Murabayashi, also “MURC”) and Africa Health Business Limited (Nairobi, Kenya, “AHB”) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in order to collaborate to promote innovative health technologies*1 and accelerate private sector engagement in Africa.
There are still huge public health challenges that should be addressed in Africa and the effective use of health technologies would bring enormous changes to solve such health issues. Private sector engagement should also be accelerated to create innovative solutions.
The MURC’s Center on Global Health Architecture tackles global health issues focusing on health technologies and private sector involvements in health in Africa. AHB works to foster partnerships across the health sector to improve access to affordable quality healthcare services across Africa through groundbreaking approaches. AHB promotes health-related business in Africa through organizing an Africa Health Business Symposium every year, which is the largest health business event in Africa since 2016.
This MoU aims to contribute to health issues by promoting innovative health technologies and accelerating private sector engagement in Africa. Both parties will also cooperate with each other to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health services as well as policymaking and awareness-raising activities, utilizing capabilities, resources and networks of both parties.
