The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that it would complete the construction of six new cancer centres within the country in the next two years. This development was made known during a TV interview with Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare.
He said, “Well, I think within 18 to 24 months, the facilities would have been completed, equipment on the ground, people trained and the maintenance agreement in place because the bunkers have to be built. They (patients) cannot sit on the ground.”
He also revealed that N37.4 billion has been allocated to the Federal Ministry of Health to improve access to cancer care in all the geo-political zones of the country.
