Medical Credit Fund
Project disclaimer
Description
The private healthcare sector in Africa delivers more than half of the continent?s healthcare services but is chronically underfunded, with access to finance being a major barrier. The Medical Credit Fund (MCF) was established to increase access to better healthcare services in sub-Saharan Africa for low-income patients by providing flexible local currency debt finance through risk-sharing partnerships with local financial institutions. The loans are typically made to small and medium sized healthcare providers for renovations, medical equipment and working capital.
