The hospital also operates West…

Stem Cell Transplant: Closing the Gap in Multiple Myeloma Care in Africa

Professor Aisha Kuliya-Gwarzo, Clinical Director of Haematology Services, African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE), Abuja A Growing Cancer Challenge Across Africa Across much of Africa, delayed diagnosis and limited treatment access continue to place multiple myeloma patients at significant risk. The burden of cancer across the continent continues to rise steadily, placing increasing pressure on patients, families, and healthcare systems that are often already operating under significant strain.

Cardiovascular Disease: A Growing African Health Emergency

Dr Mohamed Ibrahim, FRCS (C/Th), Clinical Director of Cardiovascular Services, African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE), Abuja Across Africa, a quiet but life-threatening health crisis is emerging, leaving millions remain vulnerable to severe outcomes. A Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight Across Africa, a major health crisis is accelerating quietly and, too often, unnoticed.

Action saves lives: Safer care starts with clean hands

Every year on 5 May, health facilities mark World Hand Hygiene Day. For AMCE, this year’s message is not distant or ceremonial. It is about what happens in the few seconds before we touch a patient, handle a line, adjust a catheter, examine a wound, move between bed spaces, or enter the next clinical task. Hand hygiene is not complicated, but it depends on a real decision made many times a day: stop, clean your hands, and protect the person in front of you. These five moments apply in every AMCE clinical area: the Oncology ward, Transplant unit, Dialysis centre,…

Reimagining Hope for People Living with Sickle Cell Disease in Africa

For people living with sickle cell disease, hope is often measured in small victories; a month without a pain crisis, fewer nights spent in emergency rooms and the freedom to plan life without the constant fear of the next crisis episode. For parents and loved ones, hope means watching someone they care about suffer less and live life to the fullest. Sickle cell disease is one of the most common inherited blood disorders worldwide, yet it remains profoundly undertreated particularly in Africa, where the burden is highest. The World Health Organization[1] estimates that around 7.7 million people worldwide are living…
