The shortage of biomedical products in Africa remains a significant public health crisis, leading to countless preventable deaths each year. Despite global advancements in healthcare, the continent continues to face critical challenges, including a heavy reliance on external sources for diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. Studies suggest that 70%-90% of medicines in Africa are sourced from abroad, exacerbating the crisis.

 

To address these challenges, it is imperative to empower local researchers and innovators to develop groundbreaking solutions tailored to Africa's unique health landscape. By leveraging the wealth of scientific talent and resources within the region, we can unlock transformative innovations that can improve access to biomedical products on the continent.

 

Create's mission is to drive this transformation by developing innovative solutions that address critical needs while promoting a sustainable healthcare ecosystem in Africa. By investing in local research and development, we can build capacity, strengthen health systems, and ultimately improve the lives of millions of people across the continent.
