The modern hospital and medical excellence center( Nigeria)  in Africa will facilitate the exchange of medical expertise, provide training for professionals, and advance research in cancer, heart diseases, and other critical areas of treatment to enhance healthcare services in Tanzania.

“This Medical Excellence Center (AMCE) is not only a national achievement for Nigeria but also a beacon of hope, innovation, and resilience for the health sector across Africa, including Tanzania, as it embodies our shared African vision of self-reliance, strengthening regional cooperation, and enhancing health systems in line with Agenda 2063,” said Minister Mhagama.

“I commend the Federal Government of Nigeria, AFREXIMBANK, King’s College London, and all stakeholders for this significant investment of 300 million US dollars; may this serve as a catalyst for initiating similar projects in other parts of Africa,” said Minister Mhagama.
