The majority of consumers prefer to see something that is beautifully designed instead of plain and simple content.

Revolutionising African Healthcare: Pharma Distribution, Private Hospitals, and Telemedicine
With just 15% of the world’s population, Africa accounts for 50% of global deaths from communicable diseases. The African healthcare system grapples with a multitude of challenges that hinder the delivery of quality care to its population. One of the most pressing issues is the severe shortage of healthcare professionals. According to the World Health Organisation as of 2022, the African region has only 1.55 healthcare workers per 1,000 population, far below the WHO threshold density of 4.45 per 1,000 needed to deliver essential health services and achieve universal health coverage. This scarcity of trained medical staff puts an immense strain on the already overburdened healthcare infrastructure.

This change not only empowers consumers with enhanced privacy controls but also challenges marketers to recalibrate their strategies.
