SANOFI IN AFRICA 

Africa is a very diverse continent with major health challenges that require dynamic, innovative approaches to ensure the future health of the populations. We, at Sanofi, have been committed to the communities and people right across Africa for more than 50 years. We feel it our responsibility to use our expertise, knowledge and experience to continuously seek out the most innovative, adapted approaches to improve access to medicines and healthcare for the people of Africa. Whether it is preventing disease or managing illness, we strive to integrate the latest technologies to make our innovations and services accessible to millions of people around Africa.


Challenge 1


How to enhance awareness, diagnosis and disease management of patients suffering from Diabetes?


Over two-thirds of adults living with diabetes in Africa are unaware of their condition. Once diagnosed, a majority of patients remains untreated or uncontrolled, mainly because of access and affordability, lack of medical capabilities and patient education. Scalable and affordable solutions are necessary to overcome those challenges.


Challenge 2


How to improve the access to medicines in remote areas from supply chain management to alternative payment solutions?


Today we face difficulty to reach patients in remote areas. Development of systems reaching the “Last Mile” through e-commerce, direct to a pharmacy, direct to patient and tailored payment solutions can provide better health support for people.


Challenge 3


How to support decision-makers in getting a better usage of available health data?


Today, big data can be used for diseases recognition and prediction, for research purposes and to improve healthcare management. We are looking for solutions supporting evidence-informed decision making and measuring the Public-Private Partnerships outcomes.

Sub-Saharan Africa's economic recovery faces multiple risks

　　Since 2017, sub-Saharan Africa has been recovering synchronously with the global economic tide, but this year's recovery in the region has encountered multiple obstacles, and the growth performance and development prospects of various economies have also become polarized. 　　International agencies lower growth forecast for this year 　　The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently released the latest issue of "Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa" ​​report, which reduced the economic growth forecast for this region to 3.2% in 2019, which is the same as the growth rate in 2018, which is higher than the IMF's April this year. The forecast is 0.3 percentage points lower. 　　The IMF said that lowering expectations mainly reflects uncertainties in global growth, continued declines in crude oil exporting countries such as Nigeria and Angola, and weaker-than-expected growth in South Africa. 　　The report shows that the two major economies in the region, Nigeria and South A...
