Founded on
Compassion.
Built for Nigeria.
The International Cancer Center Abuja exists to eliminate preventable cancer deaths in Nigeria through early detection, community education, and compassionate care.
“Everybody deserves the chance to fight and survive cancer. We can give hope where there was once fear. Let us stand together to save lives.”

Founder & Chairman, ICCA Nigeria
Eliminate Preventable Cancer Deaths.
We provide cancer screening, surgery support, patient advocacy, and community education to underserved Nigerians — because access to early detection should not depend on where you live or how much you earn.
A Cancer-Free Nigeria.
We envision a Nigeria where every citizen has access to world-class cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment — where no life is lost to a disease that could have been caught in time.
Our Values.
Compassion
We treat every patient with dignity, empathy, and the care we would want for our own families.
Equity
Cancer doesn't discriminate by income or geography. Neither does our commitment to care.
Excellence
We hold our programmes, partnerships, and outcomes to the highest evidence-based standards.
Community
Lasting change comes from within communities. We work alongside Nigerians, not above them.
A Decade of Impact.
Foundation
ICCA Nigeria was founded in Abuja by H.E. Hajiya Turai Umar Yar'Adua with a singular vision: no Nigerian should die from a preventable cancer.
First Screening Drive
Our inaugural community screening programme reached over 800 women across Abuja, detecting 14 early-stage cases that went on to receive successful treatment.
Regional Expansion
Partnerships with state ministries of health enabled ICCA to expand operations to Kano, Kaduna, and Niger states — tripling our reach.
Surgery Fund Launch
The ICCA Surgery Fundraising programme was established, providing direct financial support for patients who cannot afford oncological surgery.
5th Screening Centre
We opened our fifth regional screening centre in Kano, bringing early-detection services to an additional 200,000 Nigerians.
National Advocacy
ICCA leads the national conversation on cancer policy reform, working with the Federal Ministry of Health to improve oncology funding and infrastructure.
Be Part of the Fight.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or spread awareness — every action counts in our fight against cancer in Nigeria.
