President Tinubu has unveiled the NSIA Healthcare Expansion Programme, a comprehensive initiative aimed at revolutionizing healthcare services in Nigeria.

The program includes several key initiatives, such as:

1. Establishing 10 world-class oncology and diagnostic facilities across Nigeria
2. Retraining 120,000 frontline health workers
3. Positioning Nigeria as a healthcare hub in Africa

During the launch event in Bauchi State on Friday, Tinubu was represented by Prof Muhammad Ali Pate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare.

He announced that the new projects will enhance existing efforts to expand cancer infrastructure and equipment across six federal teaching hospitals.

The President stressed that these facilities will not only deliver vital healthcare services to Nigerians but also help reduce medical tourism abroad.

Upon completion of the initial phase, the NSIA, through its subsidiary Medserve, will establish the largest network of oncology and diagnostic centers in West Africa.

The initiative will enable the training of up to 500 healthcare professionals over the next three years and strengthen clinical trial and research capabilities.

He said:

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, and the NSIA for their vision, innovation, and dedication to making this programme a reality. Through inter-sectoral partnerships like these, we can achieve significant healthcare and economic outcomes.

“This programme will serve as a blueprint for future healthcare infrastructure projects, propelling us towards our national healthcare goals: saving lives, reducing suffering, and ensuring health for all Nigerians.

“The second initiative, the launch of the retraining of 120,000 frontline health workers, is a personal performance indicator for me as the African Union (AU) Champion for Human Resources for Health and Community Health Delivery Partnership.

“We all know that health workers and other professionals are the backbone of our healthcare system.

“By equipping them with the latest skills and knowledge, we ensure they are well-prepared to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our population.”
