What happens when Africa's largest country decides it can no longer outsource its health future? In this episode, Dr Wilfred Gurupira sits down with Dr Abdu Mukhtar, National Coordinator at PVAC (Nigeria's Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain), to explore why Nigeria created PVAC and what it's designed to solve. They unpack the strategic vulnerability of depending on imported medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics, the fragmentation across Nigeria's health value chain, and why the country's population, market size, and disease burden make this agenda urgent. This is the origin story of one of Africa's most ambitious health sector reforms.
This is Episode 1 of a 3-part series: Building Nigeria's Health Value Chain: The PVAC Story.
