Developing the Future of Healthcare Leadership Across Africa and South Asia
How Evercare and ecap are building leadership capability to strengthen healthcare systems across emerging markets

Last week marked another milestone in Evercare’s bold mission to transform healthcare leadership across emerging markets, as they delivered the latest session of the Evercare x ecap Leadership Training Programme 2025 in Lekki, Nigeria.

Held in partnership with ecap, this intensive development experience brought together a diverse and dynamic cohort of 74 participants, including 42 caregivers and 32 emerging leaders from across the Evercare network in Lahore, Lekki, and Kenya. The programme is a cornerstone of Evercare’s commitment to nurturing in-house talent, promoting cross-regional collaboration, and strengthening the foundations of resilient, people-centred healthcare systems.

Investing in People to Transform Systems

The Evercare x ecap Leadership Training Programme is not simply a training course; it is a long-term investment in people. Designed to develop leadership capability at multiple levels of the organisation, the curriculum is built around three key pillars: governance, strategic thinking, and patient-centred care.

Throughout the programme, participants gained critical insights into how to lead effectively in complex healthcare environments. With a blend of interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and practical leadership tools, the training fostered new ways of thinking about quality, accountability, and innovation within the health ecosystem.

By uniting professionals from different geographies and functions (ranging from clinical practitioners and department heads to operations leads) the programme created an environment of peer learning and cross-pollination of ideas. It encouraged participants to reflect not only on their own leadership styles, but also on the collective role they play in shaping organisational culture and driving systemic impact.

A Strategic Partnership Between Evercare and ecap

As the delivery partner for this initiative, ecap has worked closely with Evercare to design a tailored leadership development framework aligned to the group’s broader transformation goals. Our role extends beyond facilitation—we’ve collaborated with Evercare’s internal stakeholders to ensure that the programme supports succession planning, culture building, and the identification of high-potential talent across its regional operations.

This partnership reflects ecap’s wider commitment to enabling leadership transformation at scale. By working with ambitious, mission-driven organisations like Evercare, we help clients unlock leadership capacity where it matters most: on the ground, in hospitals and health systems, where patient needs are immediate, and where decision-making directly affects outcomes.

The Evercare x ecap Leadership Training Programme exemplifies our belief that meaningful transformation comes not from top-down mandates but from empowering people within the system to lead change confidently, ethically, and collaboratively.

Building a Cross-Regional Leadership Community

One of the most impactful aspects of the training was the sense of connection and solidarity that emerged among participants. Despite differences in geography and context, many shared common challenges, such as limited resources, staffing pressures, and the need to build trust with communities.

Through candid discussions, team exercises, and collaborative planning sessions, participants were able to learn from one another’s experiences and share solutions that worked in their respective settings. This laid the foundation for a pan-regional leadership community that will continue to grow and strengthen over time.

By fostering these relationships, Evercare is not only developing capable leaders, it is also cultivating a shared leadership identity rooted in values of service, integrity, and long-term impact.

A Future-Focused Approach to Leadership

At ecap, we know that leadership development is not a one-off event. It is a process that requires clarity of purpose, consistent support, and an environment that enables growth. That’s why our approach is always future-focused: helping organisations identify, nurture, and retain the leadership talent they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

As the global healthcare landscape evolves, so too must the leadership that underpins it. Initiatives like the Evercare Leadership Training Programme signal a powerful shift: from reactive problem-solving to proactive capability-building, from isolated leadership to networked influence, and from short-term fixes to long-term resilience.

We are proud to be working alongside Evercare to build this future, one leader at a time.

At ecap, we believe in building leadership from within, partnering with organisations like Evercare to equip emerging talent with the tools to lead, influence, and drive meaningful change.
