The unemployment and underemployment of youth in sub-Saharan Africa is a significant socio-economic issue. This situation, coupled with high poverty rates and low health standards, threatens economic growth and social stability. The healthcare sector offers a potential solution through job creation and innovation, yet mismatched skills and a lack of high-quality education hinder progress. Health Entrepreneurship Education (HENT Ed) is crucial to address these challenges by equipping youth with the necessary skills to drive healthcare innovation and economic growth. The Mastercard Foundation’s “Young Africa Works” strategy aims to bridge this gap by facilitating 30 million jobs for youth by 2030, supported by educational curricula and entrepreneurial training. One way of achieving this goal is the MSc in Health Entrepreneurship at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana, launched in January 2024. In collaboration with the University of Toronto, this program represents the first global co-created HENT Ed, combining entrepreneurship education with healthcare needs. Early feedback from students reveals the benefits of this innovative approach, indicating positive impacts on engagement and venture success. Continuous evaluation and refinement will ensure the program meets evolving needs, fostering a new generation of health entrepreneurs.
