WHX returns to Lagos as healthcare investment surges across West Africa

The healthcare sector in West Africa is gaining new momentum with the return of the World Health Expo in Lagos, scheduled for June 2 to 4. Nigeria, the region's largest healthcare market, is projected to grow by 7.1% to reach an estimated value of $161.7 million by 2027, supported by a $1.2 billion government investment. Despite these advancements, 70% of Nigerians still pay out of pocket for healthcare, highlighting ongoing challenges in access and financial protection.
