This study assesses the state of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) services in Africa, identifying the challenges and prospects for improvement. The study highlights limited infrastructure, resources, and the healthcare workforce as significant challenges in providing adequate PCI services to the population. However, opportunities for improvement are available through increased investment in healthcare infrastructure, healthcare professional training programs, and telemedicine. Collaboration among governments, healthcare providers, and international organizations is essential to address these challenges and improve access to high-quality PCI services for all Africans. Improving PCI facilities and utilization will not only benefit current and future patients with cardiovascular disease but will also advance healthcare as a whole in Africa.
