Their need

Faced with an estimated rate of untreated visual impairment of over 80% in sub-Saharan Africa, Angola has launched an ambitious project: to build a National Ophthalmology Centre in Luanda, also integrating dental and ENT services. The goal is to sustainably improve the quality of ophthalmic and public health care in the country.

Our Solution

Bpifrance Assurance Export guaranteed the financing of the project, carried out via a buyer's credit agreement established in April 2024. This guarantee enabled the French SME SFEH, a specialist in turnkey hospital projects, to successfully complete its operation while securing its contract thanks to an interruption guarantee. Bpifrance played a key role in the successful completion of this strategic project.

Commercial contract insurance

Secure the execution/completion and/or cash payments or supplier credit of the export/commercial contract, and cover the surety commitments

Result

The National Ophthalmology Center in Angola improves access to essential care in a local context marked by a lack of modern infrastructure. Thanks to support from Bpifrance, the SFEH SME is strengthening its international presence and contributing to the concrete improvement of healthcare conditions in developing countries.
