ISLAMIC FINANCE: AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF FUNDING HEALTHCARE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN AFRICA

It is difficult to invite papers on a precise list of topics in a virtual Summit of this nature; it would be equally difficult to organise a program of systematic discussions without some written papers and presentations. Submissions are however, invited from a number of perspectives. The list below is an indication of the areas which topics of papers or presentations, empirical or theoretical can cover.

• An Overview of Africa’s Primary Healthcare Sector

• Digitizing Primary Healthcare: Opportunities for Africa

• Reimagining Health Economics in Africa: The Islamic Perspectives

• The Global Islamic Finance Market.

• The Infrastructure Challenge to Achieving UHC and SDGs

• Islamic Finance Structures for Healthcare Infrastructure Projects (Ijarah,Murabahah, Istisna’, Musharakah, Mudarabah, Sukuk, Takaful)

• Islamic Social Finance (Zakat, Waqf, Qard Hassan and Sadaqa)

• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Primary Healthcare
• Islamic Financing of Primary Healthcare Infrastructure in Africa: Opportunities and Challenges
