This MoU with DOCKTOUR will help to strengthen our health network. It is a collaboration that speaks directly to the needs of our communities and our commitment to long-term national development."

For Angola, this partnership promises quicker and more reliable delivery of essential medicines and equipment to hospitals nationwide. The introduction of digitalised logistics services aims to optimise resource allocation, minimise wastage, and enable healthcare providers to respond more effectively to community needs.

By working together to improve healthcare delivery, develop modern medical infrastructure, and reinforce supply chain systems, we are building a foundation for greater resilience and wider access to medical services. Collaboration of this kind is vital to ensuring that Angola’s healthcare sector continues to grow, serving the needs of people and supporting the nation’s long-term development. At the same time, the MoU represents an important step in expanding our presence in Africa as we continue to invest in the continent’s growth and future."
