Bridging the healthcare infrastructure financing gap through long-term, sustainable financing is essential to creating a resilient healthcare ecosystem. At the recent Nigeria–EU Health Investment Forum, Ms. Funke Falade, Vice President at the NSIA: Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), joined stakeholders from government, finance, and industry to advance discussions on strategic investment opportunities within the sector. During a panel on Investment in Health Manufacturing and Financing, featuring representatives from Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMGMAN), Healthcare Federation of Nigeria (HFN), South East Development Commission (SEDC), the European Commission, and dsm-firmenich, she underscored the need for collaborative frameworks that align policy, regulation, and financing to scale Nigeria’s healthcare manufacturing capacity. She further highlighted that partnerships between the EU and Nigeria—supported by institutions such as NSIA and SEDC—can serve as catalysts for de-risking investments, facilitating technology transfer, and driving sustainable growth in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Through strategic investments and alliances, NSIA continues to strengthen healthcare delivery, enhance local production capabilities, and reinforce Nigeria’s long-term economic resilience. #NSIA #NigeriaEU #Healthcare #Manufacturing #HealthcareInvestment
