Through Africa First Advisory, Jens provide both private sector, governments and institutional clients in market entry and access, risk analysis, and strategy advisory services.
A significant part of this work focuses on the medical sector in supporting established manufacturers, developers, and the government in the post-pandemic policy space about pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. Within this area, Jens equally works with governments, to develop their medical manufacturing strategies and capabilities.
This, based on more than a decade and a half with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), a major international medical aid organisation, and more recently, Jens has supported the policy work of African CDC and other institutions, to policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent issues such as processes in relation to manufacturing and demand of African medical tools.
Based on his background and experience as both a practitioner and as an analyst that allows Jens to speak with authority on the issues of politics, health and development.
