NSSF

NSSF (National Social Security Fund) is a government-mandated retirement benefit scheme operating in several East African countries, including Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. While primarily a social security and pension fund, NSSF is a significant institutional investor in the healthcare and life sciences sectors within its respective regions. The fund manages mandatory contributions from employees and employers, investing these assets in various sectors including real estate, government securities, and private equity to ensure long-term returns for its members. In the context of healthcare, NSSF often provides funding for hospital infrastructure, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical distribution networks through its investment portfolios.
