….Partnership to drive technological advancement, expand access to quality care across Africa

A global provider of healthcare equipment, solutions and services, Siemens Healthineers has partnered with the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE), Abuja to advance diagnostics, radiology, and comprehensive cancer care across Nigeria and the African continent.

The African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) is raising healthcare standards across the continent by delivering a locally sustainable, world-class medical centre, offering advanced care across oncology, cardiovascular, haematology, radiology, and surgical specialties.

The collaboration is designed to enhance access to state-of-the-art medical imaging, precision diagnostics, and integrated cancer care solutions, while equipping AMCE clinicians with the skills to operate these technologies effectively. It also includes cardiovascular solutions and clinical workflow optimization, aimed at improving early diagnosis, treatment outcomes, and operational excellence.

Through this partnership, the duo combine cutting-edge technology with hands-on training to significantly strengthen healthcare delivery across Africa.

The initiative directly addresses the rising burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
According to the firms, in Nigeria alone, NCDs account for approximately 30 per cent of all deaths, with cardiovascular diseases contributing roughly 10 per cent of total fatalities.

By combining cutting-edge technology with talent development, Siemens Healthineers and AMCE are setting a new benchmark for radiology-led diagnostics, cancer care, and NCD management in Africa, advancing a future where quality healthcare is accessible, affordable, and delivered close to home.

CEO of AMCE, Brian Deaver said: “Our vision at AMCE is to build a centre that delivers internationally benchmarked care while serving as a hub for training, research and innovation rooted in Africa’s healthcare realities.”

Deaver noted that partnering with Siemens Healthineers strengthens their ability to expand access to advanced radiology and oncology technologies across Nigeria and the wider African region, ensuring more patients can benefit from world-class diagnostics and treatment closer to home.

“This collaboration supports earlier diagnosis, more precise treatment and improved outcomes across cancer care and other non-communicable diseases, while also advancing the training and development of clinicians who will help drive the next phase of specialised healthcare delivery on the continent,” Deaver added.

Managing Director, Siemens Healthineers Middle East and Africa, Vivek Kanade emphasised that partnering with AMCE reflects the trust placed in their capabilities and marks a pivotal step in advancing sustainable, high-quality healthcare across Africa.

“Through the deployment of advanced medical technologies and integrated solutions, we are supporting improved access to diagnostics and treatment, empowering clinicians, strengthening health systems, and helping shape a future where world-class care is accessible in Nigeria and across the continent. We also recognize the invaluable contribution of Tanit Medical Engineering in ensuring seamless project implementation,” Kanade said.
