Nigeria’s healthcare sector is critical to the country’s human development and economic growth, providing medical services to individuals and communities. The sector is dominated by public healthcare facilities, but there are opportunities for investment in private healthcare services and medical research. However, the sector faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and limited healthcare access to healthcare services in rural areas. Opportunities for investment in the sector include healthcare technology, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Nigeria’s trade value is relatively low, but there is potential for growth in the domestic market and as a medical tourism destination. Competitive advantage in this sector includes a large and growing population, a need for improved healthcare services and infrastructure, and a supportive regulatory environment.
Shared value in this sector includes improved health outcomes, job creation, and economic growth.
