APG Healthcare Holdings
VISION & MISSION
APG Healthcare Holdings' vision is to bring international quality healthcare at an affordable cost to Africa.
​
The time for development of the healthcare sector is well and truly here:
-
the target markets have a propensity to spend on healthcare; however much of this spending (and particularly for the tertiary care segment) takes place overseas
-
non-communicable diseases are growing as much of the population adopts a more “Westernized” lifestyle
-
population growth is very rapid, while the healthcare sector is aging far behind in investment
APG aims to create a sizeable healthcare network across several countries. This will create certain economies of operation, and will allow hospitals within the Group to leverage off specialists across the network.
