Financing the Future: From Deals to Delivery, Abuja to Every State

In the third and final episode of the PVAC Podcast series, we follow the money. Olumide Lawson (PVAC Healthcare Deals Team Lead) and Dr. Zara Ajus Abba-Aji (PVAC Sub-national Team Lead) explain why policy alone can't unlock Nigeria's healthcare sector, and what it actually takes to move investment from Abuja into all 36 states.

We cover the real barriers to scale, which are bankability, perceived risk, fragmented supply chains and brain drain. We also get into how PVAC helps businesses become investment-ready, how the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund creates a market across 8,000+ facilities, and where our guests would invest $100M tomorrow.

The episode closes with lessons for the rest of the continent on coordination, open borders and making the African Continental Free Trade Area work.

Key topics: healthcare financing, blended finance, the missing middle, de-risking investment, pooled procurement, subnational health delivery, local manufacturing, AfCFTA.
