The Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital Abuja Dr, Jaf Monoh has said the hospital was upgraded to a 500-bed hospital with its new 50-bed-space cancer centre.
Monoh at a press briefing in Abuja said the new cancer centre would enable the hospital to move cancer patients to the same environment, unlike before when the patients were sharing the general wards with other patients.
“We have about 50 beds in the new cancer centre which will be open soon. So we are just distributing our staff to be able to open it up soon. In the entire hospital, we have 450 bed space, so currently, cancer patients stay in the general wards but now we will be able to move them into the same environment, and we have all kinds of beds, in the new ward, including general beds, four-bedded ward, VIP ward, two-bedded and single bedded ward.”
“We have upgraded the children theatre to standard, it took us about six months arranging with the NGO that partnered us on this, to make sure that there are two theatres and a recovery room.
