National Hospital Abuja Milestones in Cancer Care


Posted on: Thu 04-02-2021

National Hospital Abuja has over the years recorded monumental achievements in health care delivery. This is made possible by the ever unflinching support its management team and Governing Board have received from the Federal Government.

Indeed, under the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the hospital has acquired an additional functional Linear Accelerator for radiotherapy and a modern brachytherapy equipment.

Part of the milestones achieved in this area include: Successful training of resident doctors in 3D conformal radiotherapy using the two modern Linear Accelerators, setting of brachytherapy suit, establishing a modern chemotherapy suit and oncology pharmaceutical suit for care of cancer patients, gradual and steady training of Therapy Radiographers who now treat our cancer patients using state-of-the-art treatment techniques.

The Management led by Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Jafaru Momoh, has recently ensured the movement of oncology dint to the Radiation and Oncology Centre dose to the Radiotherapy Centre; to take care of the teeming population of the cancer patients in the country.

The Management is tirelessly and evidently making frantic efforts to ensure that cancer patients receive treatments timely and at affordable rates.
