The Nigerian government has announced plans to commission three advanced cancer treatment centres by May 2025, marking a significant step forward in the country’s healthcare sector.

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, disclosed this on Monday, stating that the facilities would be equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including linear accelerators and brachytherapy machines, to provide high-quality cancer care locally.

“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, six major cancer infrastructure and equipment investments were approved, and three will be ready by May 2025,” Pate said.

He also highlighted broader healthcare improvements, including the establishment of new medical centres in Lagos (Epe), Ekiti, and Akure, as well as the transformation of Keffi Specialist Hospital into a teaching hospital. Ten cancer diagnostic centres have also been flagged off across the country.

Pate noted that 201 tertiary healthcare facilities nationwide have been upgraded with modern equipment such as MRI and CT scanners to address Nigeria’s healthcare demands.

“These expansions are crucial as the facilities built for 150 million people cannot meet the needs of our growing population of 230 million,” he added.

The government aims to improve access to specialised care and reduce the strain on healthcare infrastructure.
