A statement on Sunday said the development marked a pivotal moment in ABCHealth journey towards enhancing health systems across the continent, as it takes on stewardship of CAMA from the Global Business Coalition for Health in New York.
CAMA focuses on mobilising the private sector to drive impactful partnerships for malaria control and elimination in workplaces and communities. It creates opportunities for the private sector to engage with peers and with leaders from governments, NGOs, academia, and other sectors to scale impact in the fight against malaria.
It added that as the new Secretariat for CAMA, ABCHealth would build on the successes achieved over the past 17 years, providing value to its members in relevance and scaled impact in the fight against malaria.
Founder & Chairman of the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation & Chairman of ABCHealth amongst other philanthropic roles, Global business leader, Mr Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, stated, “The current challenges facing Africa’s healthcare and its disproportionate disease burden reinforces the strong business case for private sector engagement in health.”
The CEO of Aliko Dangote Foundation and ABCHealth Board Director, Zouera Youssoufou, expressed her delight about the move, “Our Principal and ABCHealth Co-Founder, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who is also the Chair of the End Malaria Council in Nigeria, looks forward to seeing a scaling up of the impact of CAMA in Africa now that the organization will be fully led by Africans.”
