President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA)-Healthcare Expansion Programme and the retraining of 120,000 frontline health workers.
He said the aim is to improve the health and social well-being of Nigerians, drive economic development and position Nigeria as a healthcare hub within Africa.
The first initiative – the Healthcare Expansion Programme – is a major milestone in the health sector as 10 world-class healthcare facilities specialising in oncology and diagnostics will be established across the nation’s six geopolitical zones.
This expansion builds upon the success of the NSIA’s previous projects, including the NSIA-Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Cancer Centre, the NSIA-Kano Diagnostic Centre and the NSIA-Umuahia Diagnostic Centre.
