Source: APO – Report:

Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the Honourable Minister of Health from Nigeria, headed a senior delegation from the Ministry of Health and the Consulate of Nigeria to Dubai for an official visit to Aster DM Healthcare’s (https://www.AsterDMHealthcare.com/) UAE facilities. The visit aimed to explore opportunities for collaboration in healthcare training, capacity building, and knowledge sharing between Nigeria’s Ministry of Health and Aster DM Healthcare.

Dr. Salako witnessed firsthand the international standards of care and medical excellence that Aster provides through its extensive network of hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in the region. The leadership team of Aster DM Healthcare warmly welcomed the delegation, who toured several state-of-the-art facilities, including Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital, Aster Hospital in Al Qusais, Aster Pharmacy stores and Medcare Medical Centre in Mirdif, Aster DM Healthcare’s holistic medicine clinic, Wellth, as well as Aster pharmacy’s robotic warehouse. During the tour, the delegation engaged with senior clinicians, hospital administrators, and technology teams, who showcased Aster’s diverse clinical services, digital innovations, and programs focused on quality excellence.

The delegation found Aster’s specialized initiatives particularly remarkable, including critical cardiac care that provides heart patients with a fresh lease on life, the pioneering WalkAgain robotic rehabilitation program that helps restore mobility to those suffering from neurological disorders, and extensive healthcare technology for women and children that secures safe pregnancies and optimistic futures, along with the advanced facilities that Aster has established for its cardiology, neurology, oncology, and orthopaedic specializations.

Commenting on the visit, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the Honourable Minister of Health in Nigeria, remarked, “We were delighted to observe Aster DM Healthcare’s strong commitment to quality, patient safety, and specialized care. The integrated healthcare model, along with a focus on training and innovation, offers significant opportunities for collaboration. We anticipate a close partnership with Aster DM Healthcare to exchange best practices and enhance healthcare capacity in Nigeria.”

In welcoming the delegation, Ms. Alisha Moopen, Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare, stated, “At Aster DM Healthcare, our mission has consistently been to ensure that quality healthcare is both accessible and compassionate. This visit underscores our mutual conviction that collaboration, training, and knowledge sharing can yield a lasting impact. We are dedicated to partnering with the Nigerian Ministry of Health to facilitate capacity building and improve healthcare outcomes for communities”.

Key discussions during the visit focused on enhancing capacity by providing the training of nurses and paramedics, advancing clinical skills for physicians, implementing surgical outreach initiatives, and referring complex cases to Aster’s tertiary care facilities in the UAE. The conversations also underscored the significance of Aster Volunteers, the group’s global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, which includes mobile medical clinics and maternal health programs designed to enhance healthcare accessibility in underserved populations. Both parties reached a consensus to create a collaborative working framework between the Nigerian Ministry of Health and Aster DM Healthcare, aimed at converting these discussions into actionable plans that promote sustainable healthcare development and foster global partnerships for improved patient outcomes.

This collaboration exemplifies Aster’s enduring dedication to positively impacting lives and extending its influence beyond its own facilities, a mission that has steered the organization since its establishment.

Source: APO – Report:

African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 has welcomed Arise News as an Official Media Partner, strengthening the event’s mission to connect Africa’s energy sector with global investors, policymakers, industry leaders and development partners.

ER Group launches its new strategic plan through 2029 to strengthen its leadership and accelerate regional expansion

Source: APO – Report:

ER Group (https://ERGroup.mu/), a leading Mauritian diversified group, has unveiled a new three-year strategic plan through 2029, centred on accelerating its expansion across East Africa and the Indian Ocean while strengthening its leadership at home. The plan was presented in Moka, Mauritius, before more than 450 senior managers and executives of the Group.

ER Group’s new three-year plan builds directly from its ten-year strategic plan, unveiled earlier this year. The previous three-year plan delivered a number of significant milestones, including the creation of ER Group through the merger of Mauritian business flagships ENL and Rogers, the opening of the 130,000 sqm Moka Sports Centre and the sought-after Telfair business neighbourhood, now serving the local community, the distribution of XPeng electric vehicles by Axess, and the opening of La Réserve Golf Links, ranked among the world’s top 30 golf courses within three years of opening.

The Group also launched its Sustainable Finance Framework, established a MUR 1 billion (approximately USD 22 million) Africa expansion vehicle to support its regional ambitions, consolidated Beachcomber Group as a subsidiary, and, alongside a joint venture partner, was granted an in-principle approval by the Bank of Mauritius to establish a bank.

“We are closing this financial year as one of the country’s most profitable, skilled, and impactful groups. This gives us a strong foundation as we begin our new three-year plan,” said Gilbert Espitalier-Noël, Group Chief Executive Officer of ER Group, at the presentation.

The Group’s ambition

The plan is set around four priorities for the next three years: strengthened profitability, driven by the leadership across each business segment; a strong stewardship as a national player committed to sustainable and inclusive development; disciplined regional growth, in the Indian Ocean and East Africa in particular; and increased shareholder value creation.

“This plan reflects a choice we made many years ago and continue to make: to invest for the long term, with the country and our people at the heart of our strategy,” said Gilbert Espitalier-Noël. “This plan was built with our teams. What we make of it is theirs to write.”

Regional expansion rooted in Mauritius

The regional expansion is central to the plan, with its weight in the Group’s future set to accelerate in the years ahead.

Already present in 17 territories through subsidiaries such as Beachcomber, Ecoasis, ER Aviation, Rogers Capital and Velogic, as well as stakes in groups such as Eclosia and Swan, ER Group intends to establish itself as a recognised regional player through disciplined expansion.

This next phase concentrates on the sectors where the Group has proven expertise: Logistics, Technology & Energy, Hospitality and Travel, and Finance. Geographically, priority is given to East Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Group has already established a presence in Nairobi, a foothold for accelerating its development on the African continent, with the ambition of growing the share of revenue generated outside Mauritius to 28% by 2029.

Mauritius remains the heart of the organisation, which continues to invest significantly on the island, both economically and in sustainability.

“This expansion is designed as an extension of the Group’s strengths and of its conviction in Mauritius’ potential, not as a step back from the country. Our regional expansion builds on our Mauritian foundations.” Gilbert Espitalier-Noël said.

People and social impact at the heart of the plan

Beyond the numbers, this plan places the Group’s team members and its contribution to Mauritian society at the centre of its strategy.

“Our people are not only our greatest asset but our responsibility” said Gilbert Espitalier-Noël.

The plan includes measurable sustainability commitments, carried by teams across the Group and supported notably by the ER Foundation and the Sustainable Finance Framework, including increasing:

  • the proportion of women in leadership to 40% by 2031
  • the share of electric passenger vehicles in Axess sales to 10% by 2031
  • the share of green-certified rental buildings to 50% by 2031

By strengthening its leadership, investing in its talent and expanding its regional footprint from Mauritius, ER Group intends to contribute directly to the country’s economic appeal, the creation of skilled jobs and the international profile of Mauritian expertise.

Chapter 9 institutions launch inquiry into criminal justice response to GBVF

Chapter 9 institutions launch inquiry into criminal justice response to GBVF

Three Chapter 9 institutions have announced a joint National Inquiry into South Africa’s criminal justice system response to Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF), with the first phase focusing on survivors’ experiences and the functioning of the justice system before cases go to trial.

The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE), the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission) said the inquiry seeks to identify systemic weaknesses in the reporting, investigation and victim support processes, while developing recommendations to strengthen accountability and access to justice.

In a statement, the commissions said South Africa continues to face a severe GBVF crisis despite legislative reforms, policy interventions and institutional efforts to combat violence against women and vulnerable groups.

According to the commissions, survivors continue to experience obstacles in accessing protection, support services and justice, while concerns remain over delays in reporting, inconsistent victim support, fragmented coordination among institutions and weaknesses in pre-trial processes.

The commissions said the inquiry forms part of the constitutional mandate of the Chapter 9 institutions to protect and promote human rights and is aligned with the National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (NSP-GBVF), particularly Pillar 3, which aims to strengthen the criminal justice system’s response.

“The inquiry will be conducted in phases. The first phase will focus on survivor testimony and lived experiences, as well as the functioning and accountability of the criminal justice system during the pre-trial stage,” the commissions said.

During the first phase, the inquiry will examine survivors’ experiences when reporting GBVF cases, access to protection orders, trauma-informed care and psychosocial support, as well as experiences with Thuthuzela Care Centres, hospitals, shelters and victim support services.

The commissions will also consider the experiences of children, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual) persons, migrants and other vulnerable groups, including cases where family members must participate because survivors are deceased or unable to testify.

The inquiry will further assess police responses to GBVF complaints, the quality and timeliness of investigations, the handling of forensic evidence, communication with survivors, case docket management, prosecutorial decision-making, case withdrawals, bail processes and coordination among the South African Police Service, the National Prosecuting Authority, the courts and other support services.

The commissions have invited written and oral submissions from GBVF survivors, families, civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations, researchers, academics, legal practitioners, service providers, and members of the public with relevant information.

They are particularly seeking evidence relating to survivor support services, policing and reporting experiences, forensic investigations, healthcare responses, shelters, child protection, support for persons with disabilities and marginalised groups, barriers to accessing justice, and recommendations to improve the criminal justice system.

“The inquiry seeks evidence-based submissions that can assist in identifying systemic challenges and developing practical recommendations to strengthen South Africa’s response to GBVF,” the commissions said.

Submissions must include the issues being addressed, the submitter’s contact details, the nature of the submission and any supporting evidence where available. Requests for confidentiality will be considered where necessary because of the sensitive nature of the information.

Submissions should be directed to: Mr Tsietsi Shuping, Head of Legal Department Commission for Gender Equality at Tsietsi@cge.org.za and Advocate Afika Nqeto, Acting Senior Legal Officer, South African Human Rights Commission at  ANqeto@sahrc.org.za  and Advocate Sphezulu Zulu Manager: Investigation & Conflict Resolution Unit CRL Rights Commission at Sphezulu@crlcommission.org.za 

The closing date for submissions is 3 August 2026.

The commissions said details of public hearings, venues and participation arrangements will be announced in due course, with selected individuals and organisations expected to present oral evidence during the inquiry. – SAnews.gov.za

À travers plusieurs volets de programme, la conférence offre un aperçu stratégique des tendances, des opportunités et des défis qui redessinent aujourd’hui le marché énergétique africain. Réunissant des gouvernements africains, des opérateurs internationaux, des bailleurs de fonds, des fournisseurs de technologies et des entreprises africaines de premier plan, l’événement vise à tracer les grandes lignes de l’avenir du développement énergétique africain. ​

Avec l’arrivée de Prospect en tant que partenaire média, les délégués et les acteurs mondiaux peuvent s’attendre à une couverture élargie des annonces stratégiques de l’événement, à des entretiens exclusifs avec des dirigeants et à des informations sur le marché destinées à étayer les décisions d’investissement bien après la fin de la conférence. En combinant la position de l’AEW, en tant que plus grand rassemblement africain consacré à l’énergie, avec l’expertise de Prospect en matière de reportages fondés sur des données et d’analyse, ce partenariat renforcera la visibilité des projets et des politiques qui façonnent l’avenir de l’énergie en Afrique.
