Health~Holland | Financing International Health Projects seminar

Many lower and middle-income countries (LIMC’s) lack resilient healthcare systems that can ensure access to healthcare for all. Concurrently, implementing high-impact sustainable healthcare projects with the appropriate funding is challenging. This seminar focuses on developments in financing instruments to support Dutch organizations that want to assist countries to develop innovative and sustainable healthcare systems. Early-stage funding and project developments are generally difficult to acquire for start-up companies. To address these issues, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has made available a variety of instruments together with Invest International and RVO under the DA, DGGF, and DHI acronyms.

“Even though the most impact can be created by investing in primary care facilities that enable treating people at the lowest level in the health chain, we also encourage the shift from cure to prevention and the growing scale of eHealth. Together with renowned specialist companies from the Netherlands we intend to make more pioneering investments financeable.”
