“Nigeria’s Federal Government Unveils Three New Oncology Centres to Enhance Cancer Treatment”

The federal government has commissioned three advanced oncology centres in

Katsina,

Enugu,

and Benin as part of a broader push to expand cancer care infrastructure and reduce the country’s growing burden of non-communicable diseases.

The establishment of three modern oncology centres by the Federal Government marks a major step forward in bridging healthcare gaps for cancer patients. These centres are expected to handle thousands of oncology cases annually, easing the pressure on existing facilities. Alongside treatment, they will also serve as training grounds for oncologists, radiologists, and nurses, contributing to workforce development in Nigeria’s health sector.
