With
interest in African markets growing, the challenge of sustaining healthy
workforces and consumer markets is becoming more and more critical to
businesses around the world. What can corporations do to promote health in
Africa? What is the impact of a healthier population, and how can it be
leveraged for increased economic growth?
This symposium will look at health as one key to achieving sustainable development in Africa by inviting business leaders from Africa and Japan and representatives of several international organizations to talk about their own experience with public-private partnerships for health and offered some suggestions for how corporations of all industries and all sizes can approach health in Africa.
