Since the launch of the Global Health and Prosperity Initiative (HAPI) in May 2020, DFC has supported nearly $2 billion in investment over 25 health projects. These investments have helped low- and lower-middle income countries respond to COVID-19, prepare for the next pandemic, and improve health systems.
Despite presenting countless challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic also spurred innovation in the global health sector. Looking ahead, DFC plans to build on the lessons learned from HAPI and expand investments in health commodity manufacturing and supply chain, health services and infrastructure, and digital health.
