Mapping the Impact: Cancer Registries Across Nigeria.
Core Objectives of the National Cancer Registry (NCR).
Centralize Data
To centralize and standardize cancer data collection, management, and reporting from all hospital-based and population-based cancer registries in Nigeria.
Comprehensive Surveillance
To provide a comprehensive surveillance system for monitoring cancer incidence, prevalence, mortality, and trends across the country.
Research
To conduct research on cancer trends, risk factors, and outcomes to inform public health policies and interventions.
Capacity Building
To enhance the skills and capacity of healthcare professionals and registry staff in cancer data collection, analysis, and management.
Precision
To ensure the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of cancer data collected from various sources.
OUR MISSION & VISION
Mission
To lead Nigeria in the fight against cancer through comprehensive and accurate data collection, analysis, and dissemination, ultimately reducing the burden of cancer and improving the quality of life for all Nigerians affected by this disease.
Vision
A Nigeria where every cancer case is documented, every patient receives timely and appropriate care, and every community is equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to prevent, detect, and treat cancer effectively. We envision a future where cancer is no longer a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, but rather a manageable and preventable condition through evidence-based interventions and public health strategies informed by robust cancer surveillance data.
ABOUT US
Who We Are
In view of the imperative to prioritize the evidence based control of cancer regulations for cancer registration have become an important issue globally and Nigeria is not an exception.
Thus the National Institute of Cancer Research and Treatment (NICRAT) with the support of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare has committed to establish a central system for collecting and storing cancer data. This will be crucial for monitoring trends, informing public health strategies, and evaluating the effectiveness of cancer control program me s across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
