 PVAC Targets Local Manufacturing To Reduce Cancer Treatment Costs


The National Coordinator of the Presidential Initiative on Unlocking Healthcare Value Chain (PVAC), Dr. Abdu Mukhtar, has attributed the high cost of cancer care and treatment in Nigeria to the country’s reliance on imported medical products. Dr. Mukhtar made this statement at a conference marking International Cancer Week in Abuja.


According to him, the administration recognizes the importance of local manufacturing of medical products, drugs, and commodities in making cancer care more affordable and accessible. To achieve this, PVAC is pursuing partnerships for local production of cancer drugs and generics, and facilitating technology transfer between technology owners and local partners.


Among the conference keynote speakers was Professor Usman Malami Aliyu, Director-General/CEO of the National Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment, NICRAT. Discussions highlighted gaps in multidisciplinary standards of care across surgical, radiotherapy, and medical oncology departments.


The event focused on addressing healthcare challenges—particularly in multidisciplinary care delivery—and emphasized the need for improved standards of care across different medical specialties.


This year’s International Cancer Week theme is “Redefining the Future of Cancer: Prevention, Access, and Equity for All.”
