This Strategy for Quality Health Infrastructure in Africa 2022-2030 (SQHIA) follows a request from Governors of the African Development Bank (AfDB or Bank) to define its role in addressing Africa’s health infrastructure deficits, drawing on its core expertise in infrastructure development.

The request recognises the centrality of health to improving quality of life for Africans and enabling them to achieve their potential. The strategy also responds to growing demand from regional member countries (RMCs) for the Bank’s support in overcoming gaps in national health infrastructure, which have been exposed by COVID-19 and other health crises.
