Celebrating the African Medical Centre of Excellence: A Landmark in Healthcare Innovation and Development

I was delighted during the United Nations General Assembly 79 in New York, to congratulate His Excellency Professor Benedict Oramah, President of the African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank), on the imminent completion of its African Medical Centre of Excellency Project, in clinical partnership with Kings College Hospital, London.

The AMCE, being implemented in 4 phases over a 6 year period, commences with a 170-bed specialist hospital before expanding to a 500-bed facility, to offer a full range of medical facilities including diagnostics, treatment, nuclear medicine, surgery and post-surgical care, along with complementary specialist services covering oncology, haematological diseases including sickle cell and blood cancers, and cardiovascular ailments.

I particularly applaud the AMCE’s education, research, and diagnostic, clinical and capacity building expertise services, with a view to building leading talent and becoming a top-tier quaternary-level medical facility.
