The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has underscored the achievements of the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) in its inaugural year, highlighting its role in advancing healthcare sovereignty across the continent. According to Business Day, AMCE has treated 5,000 patients across 20 African countries since its launch, a milestone Afreximbank says reflects progress toward reducing medical dependency on external markets.
Dr. George Elombi, President of Afreximbank, praised the centre’s performance, citing its rapid scaling and regional reach. “The achievements of AMCE within one year demonstrate the viability of African-led healthcare solutions,” Elombi stated, as reported by This Day. The bank reaffirmed its commitment to expanding the initiative, with plans for additional investment and operational growth.
AMCE, established with Afreximbank’s strategic support, aims to strengthen local healthcare infrastructure, enhance access to specialized treatments, and reduce the need for medical travel abroad. Its expansion across 20 countries within the first year signals a growing network of regional partnerships and clinical capacity. Afreximbank’s continued backing underscores a broader financial strategy to prioritize health infrastructure as a pillar of economic resilience and integration.
The institution’s focus on healthcare aligns with its broader mandate to promote intra-African trade and industrial development. With AMCE now serving patients across a significant portion of the continent, Afreximbank positions the initiative as a model for sustainable, homegrown healthcare delivery.
