- Building capacity through oncology fellowships, specialized training programs, and international knowledge exchange.
- Strengthening cancer systems by establishing a comprehensive cancer registry and organizing an annual cancer conference in Nigeria to foster collaboration among healthcare professionals.
“This partnership is a significant achievement, and I am truly proud of what we have accomplished, said Dr. Adedamola Dada, who was the CEO of FMC Ebute Metta when the partnership with Binaytara first began.

“We are excited to partner with Binaytara because this collaboration brings tangible support to our patients and our oncology team, said Dr. Ajibike Orekoya, head of the oncology department at FMC Ebute-Metta. The chemotherapy hood, infusion pumps, and training in safe chemotherapy practices will strengthen the quality and safety of the care we provide. Beyond that, the opportunities for fellowships, palliative care training, and broader system strengthening mean that our clinicians will be better equipped to meet the growing cancer burden in Nigeria. I look forward to supporting this partnership by providing data and insights so that together we can build a stronger foundation for cancer care.”
