Project Description

IFC has partnered with Imperial, a provider of integrated market access and logistics solutions with a focus on key industries including healthcare, automotive and chemicals amongst other, to support the development of a program to manufacture and deploy modular healthcare units to provide COVID-19 screening, testing and treatment, as well as other healthcare services to patients in densely populated, low-income urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, where access to healthcare is limited. IFC will be selecting the target pilot countries together with Imperial, identifying country-specific needs and approaches that can be scaled up through partnerships with private healthcare service operators and governments.
