South Africa currently runs a two-tiered healthcare system, comprising of the public and the smaller, rapidly -growing private sector. The country spent 9% of its GDP on healthcare in 2017, which is 4% higher than the WHO’s recommended spending for a country of its socioeconomic status. Despite this high expenditure, health outcomes are still trailing in comparison with similar middle-income countries, mostly due to the inequities between the public and private sectors.

Africa Health is an essential platform to conduct healthcare business in the continent – attracted over 10,500 attendees from all over the globe to meet with 560 exhibiting companies in 2018. The success of the 2018 show saw 72% of exhibitors rebook on-site for the largest health expo in South Africa.
