Closing the $66 Billion Healthcare Gap in Africa: Starting in Uganda

Africa faces a $66 billion annual healthcare financing gap, leaving millions without adequate care. Uganda, where nearly 57% of the population relies on private providers, mirrors these challenges. With a fragmented healthcare sector, low doctor-to-patient ratios, and limited access to facilities, structural reform is vital.

Uganda’s Healthcare Landscape

Uganda’s healthcare challenges mirror those faced by many African nations. With a population of over 45 million, nearly 57% of Ugandans rely on private healthcare providers, while 63% prefer private facilities over public ones due to perceptions of higher quality care. However, the private healthcare sector is highly fragmented, with thousands of small providers struggling to scale.

• Doctor-to-Patient Ratio: Uganda has only 1 doctor for every 25,000 people, far below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 1 doctor per 1,000 people.

• Access to Care: Approximately 39% of Ugandans live more than 5 km from the nearest healthcare facility, limiting timely access to essential services.

• Health Expenditure: The country spends just $44 per capita annually on healthcare, compared to the global average of $1,100.

These gaps in service delivery leave millions of Ugandans without the care they need, making structural reform and investment critical.
