The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and Siemens Healthineers have revealed a decade-long strategic partnership to boost Nigeria’s healthcare infrastructure with cutting-edge medical imaging technology and capacity building. This was made known at the 2025 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), noting that the collaboration is hinged on advancing diagnostic capabilities across the nation. To kickstart this long-term agreement, Siemens Healthineers will equip the 10 new MedServe centers that will soon be operational across the country to significantly improve access to high-quality medical imaging for the people of Nigeria.
While speaking at the event, Dr. Tolulope Adewole, MD & CEO, NSIA Advanced Medical Services (MedServe), noted that “This 10-year partnership with Siemens Healthineers is a pivotal step in our strategic mission to build a resilient and sustainable advanced healthcare system that provides equitable access for Nigerians. We are consolidating our relationship with a trusted technology leader to not only supply critical equipment but to also develop local expertise. This initial deployment across our 10 new sites is the beginning of a shared journey to enhance diagnostic access and improve clinical outcomes across our nation.”
Dr. Bernd Ohnesorge, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Siemens Healthineers, said, “We are deeply honoured that NSIA has chosen to expand our partnership. Having already established a strong collaboration in oncology, we are proud to extend our joint efforts into diagnostic imaging. This strategic agreement reflects our shared, long-term commitment to the future of Nigerian healthcare. We will support NSIA with world-class technology, comprehensive training, and our full expertise across medical imaging and oncology care systems to ensure this initiative delivers a lasting, positive impact for Nigerians.”
