Скачать или смотреть Rwanda’s $75M Gamble to Build a $2 Billion Pharma Company

For decades, Africa has depended on imported medicines for diseases that disproportionately affect its people. But what happens when a country decides to manufacture its own?

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, economic strategist Michael Fairbanks explains the ambitious vision behind Akagera Medicines, a Rwanda-linked biotech company developing treatments for drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Backed by Rwanda’s national pension fund, this project raises difficult questions about pharmaceutical sovereignty, global health inequality, African industrial policy, and the risks of building a biotech industry from scratch. Can Africa truly compete with global pharmaceutical giants? And what happens if the bet fails? This conversation explores the intersection of science, capital, geopolitics, and the future of African healthcare innovation.
