Marcelle Ruth Hosts Prof. Usman Aliyu Malami, Director-General of the National Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT)

Privileged to host Prof. Usman Aliyu Malami, Director-General of the National Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT), and Dr. Usman Waziri, Director of Cancer Prevention and Control at NICRAT, today, on 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, at our hospital.

Following my participation at the successful meeting of cancer care stakeholders hosted by NICRAT and Siemens Healthineers in Abuja last week, it was indeed timely to be able to showcase what the private sector is able to contribute to providing excellent standards of care for Nigerian patients right here in Nigeria.

During the tour of our facilities, including West Africa’s first state-of-the-art 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐦 linear accelerator radiotherapy machine, the DG was able to interact with our wide range of highly skilled staff following which he gave very positive feedback about the great work being done at our hospital.

We thank the DG for making time on this national holiday to visit us and eagerly anticipate successful collaborations with NICRAT in the future where the private sector will do our part in playing a key role to improve outcomes for cancer patients in Nigeria.
