Tinubu Gives New Hope For HIV And Cancer Patients
Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council has approved nearly ₦10 billion to sustain free HIV/AIDS treatment and strengthen cancer care services across the country.
The decision was taken in Abuja during a council meeting chaired by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The funding will support continued access to life-saving drugs for people living with HIV while also improving treatment facilities for cancer patients in major hospitals nationwide.
Authorities said the move aims to keep essential care available for thousands who depend on government-supported programmes.
Officials explained that the approval comes at a time when many patients rely heavily on free treatment schemes for long-term health management.
Strengthening cancer centres and maintaining HIV treatment supplies are expected to reduce pressure on the health system.
The government said the intervention forms part of ongoing efforts to improve public healthcare services and ensure that critical treatment programmes remain accessible to Nigerians across the country.
