United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has unveiled a healthcare investment platform to mobilise diaspora capital for hospitals and medical infrastructure development in Nigeria.
The bank, in a statement on Wednesday, said it introduced the initiative at the 2026 ANPA Carolinas Symposium in Charlotte, where Nigerian-American physicians and healthcare professionals gathered for scientific and medical discussions.
The annual symposium was organised by the South Carolina and North Carolina chapters of the Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas.
UBA said the event attracted more than 170 physicians and healthcare professionals from North America, the Caribbean and Africa.
The bank’s Head of Diaspora Banking, Anant Rao, urged Nigerians abroad to channel resources into long-term healthcare investments beyond remittances.
