The minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof Mohammed Ali-Pate has said the Federal Government will deliver six new cancer centres in Nigeria in the next two years.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, Pate said , N37.4 billion has been allocated to the Federal Ministry of Health to enhance access to oncology care in different geo-political zones which will be equipped with modern medical infrastructure.
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 is in place because the bunkers have to be built. They [patients] cannot sit on the ground”.
