President Tinubu has initiated the NSIA Healthcare Expansion Programme, which includes a variety of initiatives aimed at enhancing healthcare services:

- Establishing 10 world-class oncology & diagnostic facilities across Nigeria

- Retraining 120,000 frontline health workers

- Positioning Nigeria as a healthcare hub in Africa.

During the initiatives held on Friday in Bauchi State, President Tinubu, represented by Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, announced that the new projects will enhance the existing efforts to expand cancer infrastructure and equipment across six federal teaching hospitals.

The President emphasized that, in addition to delivering vital healthcare services to Nigerians, these facilities will help turn the tide on the increasing trend of medical tourism abroad.

The President also said Upon finishing the initial phase, the NSIA, via its subsidiary Medserve, will establish the largest network of oncology and diagnostic centers in West Africa. This initiative will not only enable the training of up to 500 healthcare professionals over the next three years but will also strengthen clinical trial and research capabilities.

He said, "I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, and the NSIA for their vision, innovation, and dedication to making this programme a reality. Through inter-sectoral partnerships like these, we can achieve significant healthcare and economic outcomes.

"This programme will serve as a blueprint for future healthcare infrastructure projects, propelling us towards our national healthcare goals: saving lives, reducing suffering, and ensuring health for all Nigerians.

"The second initiative, the launch of the retraining of 120,000 frontline health workers, is a personal performance indicator for me as the African Union (AU) Champion for Human Resources for Health and Community Health Delivery Partnership. We all know that health workers and other professionals are the backbone of our healthcare system.

"By equipping them with the latest skills and knowledge, we ensure they are well-prepared to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our population,"
