Namibia A country of about 4.5 million people, a dark horse often overlooked in favour of its far richer neighbour, South Africa Projected to grow faster than any other country in the sub- region this year, with a growth in healthcare expenditure up 9.4% in local currency from N$ 5.71 billion ($591 million) in 2013 to N$6.24 billion ($606 million) in 2014 Business Monitor International This high growth is driven by strong demographics, increased healthcare needs as well as significant expected economic growth (up to 5% forecast this year). These combined factors will likely yield increased private spending due to the increase in per capita wealth, as well as increased public spending since the government plans to increase the proportion of fiscal expenditure devoted to healthcare One of the least corrupt countries in Africa (4th in Africa and 57th in the world Transparency International), hence helping to ensuring a lasting perception of political continuity and stability Country s stable democracy and market friendly policies encourage improved business climate.

Kenya The largest and most economically developed country in the Eastern African Community (EAC) Has the largest population in the EAC region of approximately 44 million (Dec 2013 est.) The EAC is the most regionally integrated economic community in Africa; healthcare regulation harmonisation is the most advanced on the continent. Healthcare deals in Kenya, are therefore potentially more easily scalable across the EAC than in any other sub continental economic grouping in Sub Saharan Africa The Healthcare market is worth $1.83 billion, and growth is expected to top 16% in 2014, driven by robust expected GDP growth of up to 6.2% this year According to the BMI, the healthcare market in Kenya offers better commercial promise, opportunities and a more stable business environment than many other comparable African economies Has the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in East Africa, a free pharmaceutical pricing environment, and a well developed health tourism sector Page 8

Highly scalable health ecosystem currently being rolled out across Kenya; consisting of out patient clinics, 30-50 bed capacity cottage hospitals, high end diagnostic centres, and medical training schools. Phase 1: Currently underway at a cost of $30 million. Includes 40 clinics ($6 million), 5 cottage hospitals ($10 million), 1 diagnostic centre ($10 million) and 1 medical school ($4 million). These facilities will all be operated in leased buildings, hence considerably reducing sunk costs Phase 2: Expected to begin in 2-5 years, will cost $54 million. Involves establishing 60 further clinics, 8 hospitals ($40 million), and additional equipment for the diagnostic centre ($5 million). This phase will involve construction of new buildings, hence the higher unit costs Funding is being sought for each of these phases, and debt, equity or a mixture of both are welcome. Page 9
