The landscape of critical care in Africa

Life-threatening conditions and illness remain a significant burden on Africa’s health care system. Due to lack of essential diagnostic equipment, making timely and optimal critical care decisions in many countries in Africa is challenging. 

A vast majority of health facilities in Africa remain underserved, mostly without high quality, lifesaving equipment.

High quality and affordable diagnostic solutions, as well as appropriate medical treatment and care, can aid in the improvement of patient care in resource-limited areas [1].

Over half of deaths in low- and middle-income countries are caused by conditions that could be addressed by effective emergency care

- Teri Reynolds, expert in emergency, trauma and acute care at the World Health Organisation (WHO)[2]

How we can support health care in Africa

Together with health care professionals, we work to support patients in Africa with our products and solutions. 

Our products and solutions are used in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories in over 130 countries, providing information on critical parameters in acute care diagnostics. Through connected solutions, expert knowledge, and trusted partnership, we help health care professionals make diagnostic decisions to improve patient care.

By supporting progress towards building stronger health care systems and improving access and delivery of critical parameters, we hope significant impact can be realised.

Through our “Strengthening Essential Acute Care Diagnostics for Africa” program, we are committed to assisting health care providers in containing costs associated with diagnostic testing without sacrificing the quality of health service provision. This helps to create a more affordable, efficient and inclusive health care system.

Our partnerships

In Africa, we collaborate with several organisations, governments and donors who all share the same goal of improving health care in Africa through critical diagnostics. The aim of these partnerships is to establish essential building blocks to relieve the lack of diagnostic technologies in low-resource settings.

Developing ICU capacity in Africa

We support the advancement of critical care capacity in Africa through the delivery of the ICU BASIC course by the African Federation of Clinical Chemistry. The BASIC course is primarily designed as an introduction to Intensive Care for doctors coming to work in the ICU for the first time.

We are supporting similar programs that seek to enhance the capabilities of critical care nurses, emergency department doctors and other doctors to respond to critically ill patients in limited resource settings.

Advancing the critical care agenda

Each year we support the Sepsis Alliance advocacy work in driving the sepsis agenda worldwide.

We will also support critical care societies in various countries and regions, such as the African Federation for Critical Nurses (AFCCN) to advance the critical care agenda and prioritise the improvement of the care of critically ill patients in health facilities in Africa.

Health care–strengthening projects

We have collaborated with a number of governments, companies and donors to make an important contribution to the field of health care through the development and improvement of intensive care facilities in African countries.

We also supplied a number of our blood gas analysers to projects and programs aimed at improving the care, treatment and quality of life of critically ill patients in health facilities in Africa.

Collaborations

In Africa we’ve collaborated with the following agencies in health care projects.
