About the Organization
MedAccess is a social finance company that ensures medical products and services are more widely available at lower prices, particularly in Africa and South Asia. Established in November 2017 with an initial investment of $200 million from CDC Group Plc (CDC), MedAccess is now recruiting a high-quality team with specialist skills in structured finance, risk quantification, and global health. Following evidence of early successful guarantees, the capital base is expected to increase by at least 5x in the first few years.
MedAccess’ parent company, CDC, is the world’s oldest development finance institution (DFI), founded in 1948. Our mission is to support the building of businesses throughout Africa and South Asia, to create jobs and make a lasting difference to people’s lives in some of the world’s poorest places. As a DFI, we can take a flexible and patient approach because value creation in our markets often takes many years to materialise. CDC is wholly owned by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (DFID) and plays a key role in DFID’s private sector strategy to alleviate poverty.
