increasingly becoming the next business destination. According to IMS data, by 2016
pharmaceutical spending in Africa is expected to reach $30 billion, driven by a 10.6
percent annual growth rate. The market is expected to double by 2020 from current level
to $45 billion.
The growth will be fuelled by increasing economic wealth and demand for treatments for
chronic diseases with the African middle-class population.
According to the World Bank, diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease will account

It is a major shift for equipment suppliers and pharmaceutical industry, whose main role
has been supplying used medical equipment and drugs on a humanitarian basis.
Access to health for the estimated 75 millions of Congoleses severely affected during the
years of conflict is one of the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa: 0.15 consultation year per

The DR Congo primary health care system was counted among the best in Africa until
unrest took over in 1996, followed by two successive wars. Major obstacles to improve
health coverage, quality of services and healthcare for the Congolese population are
mainly related to lack of inadequate infrastructure, incomplete and non-compliant
medical equipment, poor maintenance; lack of essential drugs and management of health
information.
The system lags behind the development of new technologies that are nevertheless useful
for improving the quality of care.
The latest figures published by the Lancet Journal indicate that almost 38,000 deaths occur
in DR Congo every month above what is considered a normal level for the country,
translating into 1,250 excess deaths every day. Over 70 percent of these deaths, most due
to easily preventable and treatable diseases.
The DR Congo is set to spend US$ 9.75 billion for the implementation of the National
Health Strategy between 2011-2015 for the construction and rehabilitation of health
infrastructure and improving health information; support to the drug industry, the reform
of health financing, the development of health zones, with the development of human
resources, strengthening leadership and governance of the sector and strengthening
intersectoral collaboration.
