    Old solutions wont solve new problems. Africa is THE place for impact. There is no better place to demonstrate impact. We must align profit and purpose. Just a few of the wise words from on Better Public Private Partnerships for Health

    "In many countries scaling what is actually working in the private sector is not as much a priority...There is an assumption that the private sector is making so much profit it will fund its own scaling, which is not the case. Health is not that profitable". -
