Overview
The GDRC is making an effort to improve service delivery in the health sector. Most hospitals and clinics, particularly in remote areas, lack the necessary medical equipment. State investment in the health sector is limited, meaning that facilities must seek their own funding and patients often pay a high price for treatment. Additionally, medical equipment from China and India is often a source of complaints due to due poor quality and frequent defects.
Consumers in the DRC face high costs and low quality for medical care largely due to limited numbers of medical facilities and aging or defective equipment. There are opportunities for American companies with access to financing or donors to sell and maintain medical equipment.
