Project Scope
For this project, Harrison Hayes conducted a Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Ecological, and Legal (PESTEL) Analysis in Nigeria. This PESTEL Analysis seeks to provide direct insight into the future of the IVD space in Nigeria.
Project Objectives
Project objectives for this project were broken down into six (6) sections:
Political analysis Economic analysis Social analysis Technological analysis Ecological analysis Legal analysis
Healthcare System: Analysis of the general healthcare system in each identified country or region. Analysis of Private v. Public healthcare cost and determination of how this process is evolving. Trending analysis of health providers from a cost perspective. Determination of how this evolving process affects the IVD space at the local level. Political Subsidies / Investments Identification of the investments being made in healthcare at a macro-level. Identification of relevant policy agreements on a global level.
Healthcare Reimbursement Trends: Identification of how healthcare is reimbursed and identification of the payers. Analysis of the reimbursement allocation and the trends in healthcare reimbursement. Identification and analysis of how healthcare spending may or may not be related to employment. Identification of the wealth distribution on a country level and how this may affect out of pocket spending.
Implications: Identification and understanding of the implications of various economic trends on healthcare and the IVD space.
Demographics: Analysis of how demographics are changing by age group Analysis of the projected need for healthcare in light of the age demographics. Disease Prevalence: Assessment of the prevalence of obesity, CVD, and the other top three (3) diseases in Nigeria. Assessment of how these prevalence figures relate to IVD. Service Providers: Identification and assessment of the rising pressures on hospitals to provide medical services. Analysis of trends specific to GPs and patient treatments.
New Technologies: Analysis of how new technologies may affect IVD. Identification of market drivers related to new technologies. Identification of new market entrants from a company and technology perspective.
10
Testing Dynamics: Understanding of the testing space, i.e., will the central lab still serve as the center of testing. Identification of the prevalence of patient self-testing.
11
Regulations: Identification of key environmental trends, greening trends, and governmental regulations that might influence the healthcare and IVD space.
12

Political Analysis
Goodluck Jonathan became acting political leader of Nigeria in February of 2010; he was sworn in as President in May upon the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua.
Jonathan is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party. Jonathan has defied his partys traditional practice of alternating presidential power between the north and south after two terms of office.
Jonathan was elected President in the 2011 elections, receiving nearly 80% of the vote.
17
The President of Nigeria has been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party in every election since 1999. Party Platform: Justice, Unity, and Progress. The PDP has grown to become the largest political party in Nigeria, controlling all aspects of the national government. Under PDP leadership, Nigeria has one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
18
The most recent controversial mandate by the PDP is the removal of the fuel subsidy in December of 2011. Over 80% of the Nigerian population wanted to keep the subsidy. It is believed that this fuel subsidy removal will inhibit economic growth. The PDP has placed a great deal of emphasis on improving the Nigerian infrastructure, specifically as it relates to technology. Other areas of focus include building roads, railroads, and dredging of rivers. The PDP strongly supports a free market economy and private enterprise.
19
There are few strengths to the Nigerian healthcare system. WHO ranks the Nigerian healthcare system as 187 out of 191 countries. Health policy development in Nigeria is extremely complex; this complex and indepth structure ensures the adoption of due process for the implementation of new policies.
20
It can be opined that the entire Nigerian healthcare system is weak and inadequate.
Counterfeit drugs and other products is common-place. Healthcare is underfunded, lack of medical professionals, inadequately used, and no full demand from patients. Medical professionals typically leave the Nigeria to practice in other African nations, India, Europe, and the United States. The healthcare system in Nigeria grossly underserves its citizens.
21
There are numerous preventable diseases that are still prevalent in Nigeria.
Based on Key Opinion Leader feedback, it was unanimous that one of the greatest methods to improve healthcare in Nigeria is to focus on diagnosis. Out of necessity, Nigeria relies heavily on imported medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The Nigerian government has pledged to increase healthcare funding, but this has yet to fully take place.
22
Due to the existing inefficiencies of the Nigerian healthcare system, threats are numerous. The primary threat is medical tourism. Wealthy Nigerians will leave for other African, European, and/or Asian nations to receive medical care.
Practicing physicians and other medical professionals are leaving Nigeria for more lucrative opportunities all over the world.
23
The Nigerian healthcare system is overseen by the Federal Ministry of Health; the Federal Ministry of Health provides feedback to the National Advisory Council on Health, which is in the Presidential Cabinet.
Each Nigerian state also has its own State Ministry of Health.
There are also Local Government Departments Health beneath the State Ministry of Health.
Note: See figure on slide 25 for the Structure of the Nigerian Healthcare System. Specific agencies and divisions are identified in the Legal Section of this analysis.

26
Roughly 70% of healthcare services in Nigeria are provided through private means.
The remaining 30% of services are provided through public means. Nearly all healthcare services are paid out of pocket. Payment for healthcare services is based on consumption rather than ability to pay. Healthcare facilities and overall care are inadequate in urban areas and even worse in rural areas.
27
The National Health Insurance scheme (NHI), launched in 1999, is a single scheme with different categories. The NHI utilizes services of HMOs as health mangers for collecting revenues and distributing services.
Contributions are made in the form of premiums through HMOs according to the patient member category.
Members throughout the country are entitled to health benefits from any health provider irrespective of location once adequate identification is provided.
28
29
Formal Sector: Consists of public sector employees and organized private sector employees (organizations with at least 10 employees). Self Employed: Non-profit health insurance program covering groups of individuals with common economic activities. Individuals who are members of socially cohesive groups that are occupation based are free to join the program.
Rural Community: Non-profit health insurance program for a cohesive group of households run by its members. Membership comprises community individuals.
30
Hospital care in a public or private hospital in a standard ward during a stated duration of stay, for physical or mental disorders;
Eye examination and care excluding prescription glasses/spectacles and contact lenses
31
The employer will pay 10% while the employee will only contribute 5% of basic salary to enjoy health benefits.
Contributions made by/for an insured person entitles himself or herself, a spouse and four (4) children under 18 years of age, to full health benefits. Extra contributions will be required for additional dependents. The contributions of two working spouses cover the spouses and four (4) children for each of them.

In November of 2011, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control asked the government for an intervention fund of $1.23B.
This intervention fund is meant to assist the agency perform more efficiently and to adopt a new system to help consumers verify its product certifications regarding counterfeit medicines. In 2011, USAID invested roughly $56M in Nigeria to promote family planning and maternal healthcare. The Chinese Government has recently invested $100M into the Nigerian healthcare system to enhance hospital facilities. Nigerian Government investment has largely focused on Tertiary Hospitals and Medical Education.

Tertiary Hospitals and Political Investment
A primary area of focus and target should be the Tertiary Hospitals. These hospitals receive direct funding from the national government.
Preventive care receives just $2.2B from the Nigerian government. This figure is expected to rise given physicians new interest in diagnostic based products.
Increase in minimum wage will create more disposable income; Citizens will be able to visit doctors more regularly for tests and services. This should greatly benefit diagnostic based companies.
New healthcare schemes further makes healthcare more affordable for citizens who need diagnostic testing.

Over the past five (5) years, Nigeria has maintained one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Depending on the source, GDP growth in 2011 varies from 6.8% to nearly 7.5%. Much of the economic growth rate in Nigeria is due to the fact that the country has a vast supply of oil.
Since 2008, Nigeria has focused on re-structuring its banking system through collaboration with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Nigeria is moving away from its military style government, and as such has become more open to private enterprise.

Between 2003 and 2005, Nigeria won approval from the Paris Club for debt relief.
In addition to the Paris Club approval, Nigeria also received a $1B credit from the IMF.
The total debt relief package totaled $30B; at the time, Nigeria had $37B in external debt. This information provides an explanation to the reduction of debt percentages of GDP in the previous slides.

Since 2010, medical device sales in Nigeria have seen double digit percentage growth rates.
The Nigerian space has been large ignored by large, Western medical device companies.
Diagnostic equipment is severely lacking. Harrison Hayes estimates that less than $5M is spent each year on new diagnostic equipment. Even simple tests such as blood pressure, ECG, blood glucose, cholesterol, mammograms, etc. are needed in Nigeria.

Healthcare reimbursement in Nigeria largely depends on the healthcare scheme and office location. The government is the primary payer and reimburses medical services from each schemes pooled assets. Individuals may also pay out of pocket if not a member of a healthcare scheme. Government reimbursement is roughly 30% of the total.
Most health expenditures in Nigeria come out of pocket, roughly 70% of the total. This is counter-intuitive given the high rates of poverty.
An average Community Based Healthcare schemes typically provide $14 per month into the total asset pool.
Most HMOs in Nigeria prefer to operate in urban areas where they are more likely to receive reimbursement.
57
Healthcare coverage varies greatly in Nigeria based on the healthcare scheme and patient location. Citizens who are part of the Formal Scheme or Self-Employed Scheme typically receive the best care. Most individuals in the Formal Scheme or Self-Employed Scheme live in urban areas.
Due to the high rate of poverty, most individuals do not have health insurance. As such, most patients pay for healthcare services out of pocket.

GDP and Healthcare Spending
As a percentage of GDP, healthcare spending has not increased. It is expected that this should change given Nigerias pledge to the World Health Organization.
Given this information, diagnostic based companies should position its diagnostic products as a key item for preventive care in Nigeria. Preventive Care (vaccines and diagnostics) appears to be a primary area of focus for the Nigerian government moving forward.

The Nigerian population is currently young and will continue to be so through 2030. This is primarily due to the high fertility rates.
By 2050, Nigeria will be the 5th most populous country in the world. It is expected that the 64+ and 15-64 age groups will not experience significant growth over the next twenty (20) years. The <14 age group is expected to slightly decrease over the next twenty years.

The low life expectancy in Nigeria is directly correlated to the poor healthcare system, nutrition, and water availability. Nigeria must undergo vast infrastructure improvements in order to be considered on par with other emerging countries such as South Africa. Much must be done in Nigeria regarding family planning and improvement in adequate healthcare in order to increase life expectancy.

As the previous few slides indicate, Nigeria is quickly becoming a more urban nation. Today, the Nigerian population is split nearly 50/50 between urban and rural. Lagos is by far the largest city in Nigeria, home to nearly 14 million citizens. Lagos also serves as the primary destination for migration within the country.

As expected, many of the most prevalent diseases in Nigeria could be solved through proper vaccination. Malaria is extremely prevalent in Nigeria compared to the rest of the world.
Obesity is not nearly the concern in Nigeria as it is in the developed world. This is due to the fact that much of the population is malnourished.
Cardiovascular Disease is one of the leading causes of death in Nigeria. This figure may be greater due to poor records in Nigerian death certificates.
78
Data related to non-communicable diseases in Nigeria is unreliable. Appropriate diagnostic equipment is largely unavailable throughout the country, so it is often difficult for patients to be appropriately diagnosed. HIV/AIDS and Malaria are clearly of much more concern than non-communicable diseases in Nigeria. Due to the large population of Nigeria and the severe lacking of IVD products (and diagnostics as a whole) there appears to be great opportunity for a companys IVD portfolio.

People in rural areas are far way from health facilities, unlike those in urban areas. Pregnant women in rural areas are less likely to attend antenatal clinics and they are more likely to end up in the hands of untrained traditional birth attendants.
81
Unfortunately, most of these hospitals do not have the funds or capabilities to improve this service and/or equipment.
The Tertiary Hospitals and Teaching Hospitals are best positioned to improve medical equipment and overall services for the foreseeable future.
Just fourteen (14) Teaching Hospitals exist in Nigeria, six of which are poorly and inadequately equipped (these are hospitals located at Benin, Calabar, Ile-Ife, Kano, Nnewi, and Sokoto)
82
83
With roughly 60,000 practicing physicians and nearly 160 million citizens, Nigeria has one of the largest shortages in the world. The primary issue with physicians that currently practice, or are still in medical school, is defection to other countries. Thousands of physicians and other medical professionals leave Nigeria each year to practice in more developed areas of the world. Currently, Nigeria has not been effective in reversing this trend.
84
Social Analysis

Life Expectancy
The low life expectancy presents an optimum opportunity. Clearly preventable and treatable diseases represents a primary area of concern for Nigerians. Economic value must be shown in diagnostic equipment. This must be accomplished through an analysis of back-end cost savings.
86
Social Analysis
Migration
In the next three (3) years, more Nigerians will live in cities that rural areas.
In order to be successful, diagnostics must targeted to the more highly populated areas, most importantly the Lagos state. Urban areas typically have a Tertiary Hospital or State owned hospitals. These should also be a primary area of focus.
87
Social Analysis
Disease
Diagnostic products address these disease states. Appropriate diagnostic portfolio and these prevalence figures represent a clear opportunity.
88
Social Analysis
Doctor Shortage
The shortage of physicians in Nigeria is alarming and it appears that this problem will continue for the foreseeable future. To combat this issue, it is recommended that diagnostics be intuitive for the general population. Not only must the diagnostics be intuitive, but the diagnostic results should be easy to understand as well. This is especially the case in rural areas where the shortage of physicians is especially high. Due to the lack of medical professionals, diagnostic devices must be plentiful at all point of care and non-traditional point of care locations.
89
Technological Analysis
Nigeria has one of the fastest growing telecommunications industries in the world.
This growth has been instigated by President Goodluck Jonathan who believes improving telecommunications and its infrastructure will increase foreign investment.
Nigeria remains reliant on Western Europe and the United States as its suppliers of telecommunications goods.
91
Nigeria has an estimated 1,400 internet hosts and 45 million internet users.
92
Due to the increased interest in technology in Nigeria, many Western companies have targeted Nigeria for global growth. Africa is challenged with many serious health issues and IBM believes that the application of modern technologies has an important role to play in addressing some of these problems. Our consultants have been able to apply some of their global experience for the benefit of the local people. At the same time we've been able to gain valuable experience in tackling some of the most challenging healthcare issues and learning more about local approaches.
93
I believe that a functional mHealth system will reduce the emigration of health personnel for greener pastures and create a new revenue stream for the country through those coming into Nigeria to seek solutions to medical challenges.
94
Defined by the WorldBank, higher rankings indicate better, usually simpler, regulations for businesses and stronger protections of property rights. Empirical research funded by the WorldBank to justify their work show that the effect of improving these regulations on economic growth is strong. In 2012, Nigeria was ranked 133 out of 183 countries assessed regarding the ease of doing business.

Ecological Analysis
Water availability and clean water availability is one of the primary issues facing the Nigerian government and its citizens. The lack of clean water is one of the primary drivers of the poor health and low life expectancy in Nigeria. "If you have good water, many of the diseases of Africa would disappear. Clean water is the key to health in Africa. It is paramount.

Energy Use per Capita: use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
103
Climate change may affect currently stable ecosystems such as the Sahel Savanna.
The Sahel Savanna may become vulnerable because warming will reinforce existing patterns of water scarcity and increasing the risk of drought in Nigeria. Building codes are already being changed in order to meet newly enforced energy efficiency levels.
104
Reduced water volume in streams and rivers, arising from different scales of water diversion for rudimentary irrigation activities, siltation of stream beds due to deposition of materials by water run-off, as well as evapotranspiration ; Drying up of water sources due to increased evapotranspiration, and loss of vegetation in head waters. Deficiencies in freshwater availability will worsen the already poor sanitary and health conditions in these areas; as well, uncontrolled disposal of wastewater and human wastes will result in a deterioration in water quality leading to high organic levels in surface and ground water thereby increasing epidemics of water-borne diseases such as cholera, hepatitis, typhoid and malaria. Reduced stream velocity due to loss of gradient from siltation.

Lack of Clean Water
The lack of clean water results in numerous diseases and overall sickness.
As a result, diagnostic based products could play a significant role in preventive and early diagnosis.
Water and waste regulations are currently in its infancy stage in Nigeria. Outside companies should be prepared to address these issues from the ground up.
