Healthcare systems across emerging markets continue to face significant challenges in access, affordability, and quality. At the same time, private investors are playing an increasingly important role in expanding healthcare delivery, often alongside governments and public institutions. Our new report ‘Five Years of Investing in Inclusive Healthcare’ reflects on the first five years of Investors for Health (I4H), a global community of development finance institutions, private equity and venture capital funds, corporate investors, and partners including Dalberg, working to advance more inclusive healthcare systems through responsible investment. 

Drawing on five years of investment data, case studies, and interviews with leaders across the healthcare investment ecosystem, the report examines what has worked, what has been learned, and where greater collaboration is needed. It highlights how private capital can help address critical gaps in healthcare delivery when combined with public-private partnerships, technology, catalytic funding, and rigorous impact measurement. As global health systems confront evolving challenges, the report offers practical lessons for investors, policymakers, development partners, and healthcare leaders seeking to strengthen health systems across emerging markets.
