The facility, located in Victoria Island, Lagos, is Nigeria’s premier healthcare institution specialising in cancer treatment, with cutting-edge technology and a dedicated team of experts committed to compassionate and comprehensive healthcare solutions.
At a press conference held at the facility, yesterday, the Chairman of Marcelle Ruth, Mr. Bolaji Odunsi, emphasised that the partnership with Leadway Health HMO was to make healthcare accessible to many Nigerians who desire global standard healthcare. The guided tour of the facility showcased the institution’s commitment to cuttingedge healthcare solutions and modern facilities, positioning it as a leader in healthcare solutions in Africa.
The radiology and cancer treatment facility features specialized rooms tailored to specific diagnostic and therapeutic needs, including a mammogram room, a CT scan room, an X-ray room, an Ultrasound room, and a modern laboratory room that competes with any such anywhere in the world. Additionally, Marcelle Ruth features two operating theatres, an eight-bed chemotherapy suite, and a radiotherapy centre equipped with a linear accelerator and brachytherapy capabilities.
Mr. Odunsi expressed his pride in the facility’s achievements, stating that the institution’s mission is to redefine cancer care in Nigeria by providing accessible, world-class treatment options. He emphasized the accessibility and affordability which Marcelle Ruth provides, stating that there is no need to travel abroad for any type of treatment, especially when the protocols followed abroad are the same as those being implemented at Marcelle Ruth.
