For too long, the global health financing architecture was built for a world of centralised donor procurement. In this second episode of our series with the Oxygen CoLab, we move from the clinical problem to the financial solution: how to build the investment architecture that sustains life-saving care. In this episode, our guests discuss the critical ‘Missing Middle’- local SMEs that could form the backbone of healthcare delivery but are often excluded by global health financing. Using the Nigerian experience as a case study, we discuss the urgent need for a more flexible financing toolkit that prioritises local manufacturing and de-risks health markets. The #FundWhatLasts campaign argues that, to make the necessary shift from aid to investment, we must shift from top-down equipment donations to an African-led service model that includes the network of people and expertise needed to get oxygen to every patient who needs it, when they need it. By backing local SMEs, and investing in the operating conditions for them to thrive, we can ensure that investment guarantees the reliable delivery of oxygen to the patient’s bedside. What’s more, if we can prove this model in respiratory care, you have a template for other lifesaving services. Visit https://lnkd.in/dPjzDwc7 to explore the hashtag#FundWhatLasts campaign.

Despite billions in COVID-era investment, 91% of people in Sub-Saharan Africa still lack access to medical oxygen. This episode of Voices of Africa explores the ‘Missing Middle’, the gap between oxygen production and the patient’s bedside. In collaboration with the Oxygen CoLab, featuring Dr Carina King (epidemiologist), Hilda Bugingo (biomedical engineer) and Shiellah Bagayana (entrepreneur and oxygen policy champion), we discuss why oxygen is a complex system; the personal toll of systemic failure, and how local SMEs are transforming oxygen into a reliable, sustainable, scalable service that fills the ‘Missing Middle’. The #FundWhatLasts campaign argues that, to move forward, we must shift from top-down equipment donations to an African-led service model that includes the network of people and expertise needed to get oxygen to every patient who needs it, when they need it. By empowering local SMEs and biomedical engineers, we ensure that investment guarantees the reliable delivery of oxygen to the patient’s bedside.

In this episode of Voices of Africa, we sit down with Isabela Nyoka, Mining Specialist at Ecobank to unpack the transformation of the continent’s mining sector ahead of Mining Indaba 2026. Isabela provides a masterclass in how financial infrastructure acts as the catalyst for African agency. By moving beyond simple extraction and focusing on the ecosystem of mining, she illustrates how strategic capital can de-risk supply chains and drive inclusive growth.
